3. Line up your Skywire’s cellular U.FL connector(s) on the side of the board closest
to the antenna connector. Then carefully seat your Skywire into the board’s
Skywire socket (U1). Take care to ensure that the pins are correctly aligned.
Failure to properly align the pins may damage your Skywire.
A common issue is accidentally inserting the modem with pins
misaligned by one row. Check pin alignment BEFORE applying
power to prevent modem damage.
4. To avoid damage to the U.FL connector and maximize connector life, a U.FL
removal tool should be used when attaching/removing the U.FL connector.
Always insert and remove the U.FL connector with a force perpendicular to the
board.
5. Attach the U.FL cable to the top U.FL connector X1 on the Skywire. The x1
connection on the Skywire is for the primary cellular antenna. Attach a second
antenna (sold separately, not pictured) to connector X2 to connect the diversity
cellular antenna.
