Using the Modem
When removing the rf cable hold the card in the slot to prevent pulling the card out then pull the cable plug straight out away from the card.
Use the external antenna whenever experiencing decreased signal strength.
Important: When using any approved accessory antenna, position it at least eight inches (20 cm) from any part of any person.
Turning on the Modem
When you enter the Setup screen, the im240 Wireless Modem will be powered on. The LED on the im240 Wireless Modem will turn red. The red LED is a good indication that things are happening correctly. This ensures an instantaneous response from the SIM Card and Diagnostic sections.
A pop up will appear saying, “Modem is Starting”. The pop up will remain until the im240 Wireless Modem is successfully powered on.
When the Setup tab is clicked, all information will be accessible except for the SIM PIN and Diagnostic sections. These sections will be grayed out until the modem powers up successfully.
Note: If the im240 Wireless Modem doesn’t power on, an alert will appear. You can then try to troubleshoot the problem or close the window. However, you will only be able to view default information and won’t be able to connect to the network. If you press the Connect button, the “Modem is Starting...” pop up will appear.
Note: Always disconnect from an active modem session before removing the im240 Wireless Modem. (See “Disconnecting from the Internet” on page 17).
