Open the SIM cover on the back of the Powertxt (see number 8 on figure 1), put the SIM card in (gold contacts face down and the cut edge of the SIM at the bottom left) and close the SIM cover. Plug the temperature sensor into the side of the socket (see number 2 on figure 1) OPTIONAL. Turning Powertxt on / off Turn the power switch on the back to the on position and plug Powertxt into a wall socket. The green power led will illuminate and the blue GSM led will flash for about 20 seconds before staying constant to confirm a GSM signal has been found (please make sure the signal in the area is good). Powertxt is now ready to be programmed. Users Powertxt has two levels of control, Master User and Additional Users. The Master user has authorisation to use all of the features (only one master user per socket). Additional users have access to a number of features but they must use a password within their command to control Powertxt, if there are any changes made to Powertxt the master user will always get notification.
