This section explains how to connect the Digi CORE®module and cellular antennas to the Connect IT
hardware.
Prerequisites

n CORE module. This may be included with your device. If it is not, you must purchase one
separately.
To connect the hardware and connect to the cellular network:
1. Insert your activated SIM card into the COREmodule. The notched end of SIM card should be
inserted first, with the gold metal contacts facing down. You will hear a click once the SIM is
completely inserted.
Note If one SIM card is being used, insert the SIMcard into the SIM 1 slot.
2. Insert the COREmodule into the device.
a. Orient the device so the front of the device is facing you.
b. Remove the COREmodule slot cover from the left side of the device.
c. On the COREmodule, pull the white clip up and away from the module. It will remain
attached to the module.
d. Insert the COREmodule into the slot. Make sure the pin holes on the back of the module
match the location of the pins in the slot.
e. Push the module into the slot.
f. Push the white clip down until you hear it click.
g. Optionally, you can screw one of the COREmodule cover screws into the center of the
handle.
h. Place the white CORE module cover over the end of the device. Make sure that the
antenna labels are oriented correctly.
i. Push the cover in place.
3. Attach both of the included antennas. While gripping the metal connector section with your
thumb and forefinger, tighten until secure. Do not tighten the antenna by holding any part of
the plastic antenna housing.
Note Attaching both antennas ensures maximum performance. If a single antenna solution is
required, it must be attached to the antenna port labeled MAIN.
