If you do need to fit a SIM, open the SIM card cover, insert the Micro SIM card into the OBD300 device and push it in gently, then close the SIM card cover.
Plugging the OBD300 into your vehicle
Locate the OBDII port in your vehicle. If you cannot easily find it, consult your vehicle’s manual or ask a local automotive mechanic to find it for you.
Plug in the OBD300 device into your vehicle’s OBDII port. It can only go in one way.
