Working with mobile broadband
The Ranger 5 / TSC5 has an integrated cellular modem enabling you to connect to a mobile
broadband network. The Ranger 5 / TSC5 supports Worldwide LTE (where available), and is
compatible with AT&T and Verizon certified 3G and 4G networks.
Before you can send and receive data over mobile broadband, you must have a MicroSIM card in the
device (see Inserting a SIM card). You must then turn on cellular data on the Ranger 5 / TSC5 and
configure the connection.

You can adjust how your device uses mobile data by changing your cellular network settings.
Depending on your carrier and service plan, your device may connect automatically to your carrier’s

Locating the device’s IMEI number
The IMEI number is a unique 15-digit number that identifies the cellular module installed on your
device. Your mobile broadband operator may need to know the IMEI number of your device in order
to register the device with the network and activate your mobile broadband data plan.
