 Before switching it on, it's worth putting your nano SIM card into the slot, and connecting the LTE antenna. You can start it without these, but with your SIM inserted all the auto configuration will connect up to your provider for you, and you'll get good results when testing the signal quality. Before switching it on, it's worth putting your nano SIM card into the slot, and connecting the LTE antenna.
