# SIM Card Installation

If you ordered a SIM card when you ordered the Edge Pro, the SIM card will have already been installed at the factory. 

If you are installing your own SIM card, perform the following steps.

{% hint style="success" %}
For best results, install the SIM card prior to on-site installation of the camera.
{% endhint %}

The following tools and parts are needed for the SIM card installation:

·       SIM card

·       Small Allen wrench

·       Antenna mounting screws (2)

·       Antennas (2)

1\.      Disconnect the cable for the GPS module.

5. Re-attach the camera cover, using the 6 screws.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Ensure that the camera cover is fit, flush, and secured with the screws to avoid weather damage and voiding the warranty.
{% endhint %}

6. Re-attach the cable for the GPS module.
7. Locate the antenna studs on each side of the camera.
8. Attach the L-shaped antenna connectors so that each screw is facing up.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.rekor.ai/edge-pro/installing/assembly/sim-card-installation.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
