# Setup

XBLink 4G R2 hardware connection mainly includes SIM, Antenna, XBCamera V2, Flight Controller and Power up.

### Nano SIM Card <a href="#sim-card" id="sim-card"></a>

XBLink 4G R2 supports push-push NanoSim connector.

Insert your SIM card into the SIM Card slot, the chip contacts have to **face up**.

{% hint style="info" %}
The SIM card is recessed into the enclosure and you might need a tool to push it into the socket. You can hear a click when the card is inserted.
{% endhint %}

To remove the SIM card, push onto the card with a tool. You can hear a "click" and the card will be pushed out of the enclosure. To remove the card again, push it in once more and it will pop out.

### Power up

XBLink 4G R2 supports 7-30V voltage input. We highly recommend **3-4 S battery or 12V DC UBEC** (minimum 3A) to power (6S battery is possible but make sure it's high quality and low discharge)

<figure><img src="https://752643261-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-M1Ot9F_Ob2Aboz1SKNK%2Fuploads%2FQU0iY6DX2FAsRKCSD9te%2FPower_Up_Plus.jpg?alt=media&#x26;token=f6411312-d100-44aa-be76-b83f4796a657" alt=""><figcaption><p>Power up XBlink 4G R2</p></figcaption></figure>

{% hint style="danger" %}
If you use low quality or high discharge 6S battery for drone, we are not responsible for damage.
{% endhint %}
