QUICK START

1. Insert an activated SIM

The Cradlepoint AER1600/AER1650 requires a SIM with an activated wireless broadband data plan. Contact your carrier

for details about selecting a data plan and about the process for provisioning your SIM. Once you have an activated

SIM:

•

For AER1600LPE/AER1650LPE only: Open embedded modem SIM cover on bottom of router and insert activated

SIM into the slot marked SIM 1 (use the other slot, SIM 2, for a secondary/backup SIM). Close embedded modem

SIM cover. NOTE: Router will not operate if embedded modem SIM cover is not fully closed.

•

For all models with removable MC400 modem: Remove MC400 cover from side of router and insert activated

SIM(s) into removable MC400 modem (optional for AER1600LPE/AER1650LPE and AER1600/AER1650). Insert the

SIM card into the slot marked SIM 1 (use the other slot, SIM 2, for a secondary/backup SIM). Insert the card with

the notch-end first and the gold contacts facing down. Reinsert the removable MC400 modem, replace cover, and

insert the included security screw if desired. NOTE: To remove modem, remove MC400 cover, attach included modem

antennas (finger-tighten only), and pull modem straight out.
