ATTENTION: Do not power on the gateway without its antenna connected as this may damage the unit. Make sure you are using the power adapter we provided.
ATTENTION: If you use an Ethernet cable to connect the Internet, in order to avoid the network connection failure caused by the loose or ejected cable, please try hard when plugging the network cable and make sure you hear a clear “click” sound.
After setting up the gateway, you may be asked to set a location for your hotspot.
The SenseCAP M1 has covered the $40 Helium network activation fee and the first location assert fee of $10 (worth $50 in total) in the purchase price.
You could set up the location and change to another location if needed, but you will need to pay the $10 location assert fee again every time you move your gateway to a new location.
Choose the location on the map and confirm the location of your hotspot and set anttenna.
