Installation manual Apache700XR Mini

1.QUICK START

The Apache 700XR Mini is designed to control automatic acces. While it uses a phone number as access code, through Caller ID.

The Apache 700XR Mini works with contract as well as prepaid Sim cards. When using a prepaid card, notice that some providers let the call credit expire after a certain time. Some prepaid cards have to be upgraded once a year. Be sure the card is activated by your provider before you insert the card in the XR. Also, disable the PINcode and the voicemail, than the XR is immediately ready for use. To control the unit via IP your SIM also has to have a data plan.

Please note that the operation of the unit is dependent on the correct functioning of the GSM network according to the indicated speciﬁcations.

Wait about two minutes after connecting the power. The XR is going to subscribe itself at the provider. You can program the XR through the following commands.

Suitable for standard
