How to insert SIM card and
connect the battery
1. Gently remove FMC125 cover using plastic pry tool from both
sides.
2. Insert SIM card as shown with PIN request disabled or read
our Wiki how to enter it later in Teltonika Configurator. Make
sure that SIM card cut-off corner is pointing outward from slot.
SIM slot 1 is closer to PCB, SIM slot 2 is the top one.
3. Connect battery as shown to device. Position the battery in
place where it does not obstruct other components.
4. After configuration, see “PC Connection (Windows)”, attach
device cover back.
