prepared for mounting of an external antenna. See also chapter 7 “GSMxi
Variant Structure”, page 28.
2 .1 Mounting order
1. Dismount the top cover of the meter
2. Place the GSM7i module in the meter (please check that the eight module
pins are all plugged in)
3. Insert SIM card (see paragraph 2.6.1, page 13)
4. When the diodes on the GSM7i module stop flashing, the signal strength is
read on the indicator (see paragraph 2.4, page 11)
5. If the signal strength is acceptable, mount the top cover of the meter. Make
sure that the antenna wire is not jammed
6. Before leaving the installation, check the signal strength by sending an SMS

If the module does not indicate normal operation conditions (such as sufficient
signal strength), see chapter 5 “Error Detection Help”, page 24.
