   With the gold contacts facing down, gently slide the nano SIM card into the SIM1 slot until you hear a click sound.

   Note 1: The router does not support SIM hot-swapping. You must insert or remove the SIM card while the router is powered off, otherwise, they may get damaged.

   Note 2: If both SIM1 and SIM2 card slots are inserted with SIM cards, the router will automatically choose which SIM card to use. Since the automatic selection mechanism is time-consuming, it is highly recommended to insert only one SIM card when using for the first time.

3. Step 3: Connect Power Adapter

   Note: For some ISP's SIM cards (such as Verizon), it may take longer to connect to the Internet. Please kindly wait another 2-5 minutes.

5. Step 5: Check LED Status

   Instruction: Check the status of the LED.

   When the LED turns solid blue or purple, it means the router is connected to the cellular network.

   If the LED turns solid red, please follow the instructions of 'Customize the Router'.
