  If the 3G4010 yellow and red lights are constantly flashing, make sure there's a strong signal (at least one green light on). Also, confirm that the SIM card is activated. It might take up to 10 minutes for the network to program the unit, so wait at least 15 minutes. If problems continue, try turning the power off and on, then check the SIM card and signal again.

  If no signals are received at the central station, but there's no trouble condition displayed on your DSC Cell Phone, ensure the control panel has a central station phone number and the correct account number programmed. Also, verify the reporting codes are programmed or the auto Contact ID option is enabled, and the control panel communicator is enabled. You can connect a handset to T1 and R1 of the 3G4010 in monitor mode to check if the control panel is trying to communicate.

  If both green lights are off on your DSC Cell Phone, first verify that the SIM card is activated. Next, ensure the antenna cable is securely plugged into the radio connector. If the SIM is active, connect a battery to the unit and test in various locations to find good/excellent signal strength. If needed, connect an antenna extension kit (GS-15ANT, GS-25ANT or GS-50ANT).
