2.8 Optional SIM card Reader

Only direct accessible on Mk3 units produced from August

16, 2003. On older units the L-Band transceiver must be

dismounted in order to install the SIM card.

This additional SIM card reader can be used as a master

SIM card, thus allowing the crew to place individual cards

in the primary SIM card reader on the front.

The primary SIM card reader on the front has highest

priority and will thus disable the card in the optional card

reader when a card is inserted.

The optional card reader is ideal for Ship Security and

Alert installations, where a permanent SIM card is required.

Remove the lid by removing the 2 umbraco screws. After

inserting the card put the lid back on.

2.9 How to Remove the Finishing Cover

You may need to dismount the satellite transceiver box

from the wall, e.g. in connection with service.

For access to the mounting screws, the finishing cover

can be removed from the satellite transceiver box as

follows:

Put a screwdriver into the slot in the printed circuit

board beside the SIM card reader, and press gently

to unhook the plastic spear.

While pressing with the screwdriver, lift up the

same side of the finishing cover slightly to loosen it.

e Repeat this procedure on the other side of the

finishing cover.

You can now detach the finishing cover from the

satellite transceiver box by pulling it gently upwards.
