Setup

This section contains the hardware connection of XBLink 5G.

Link 5G hardware connection mainly includes SIM, Antenna, XBCamera V2, Flight Controller and Power up.

Nano SIM Card

XBLink 5G supports push-push NanoSim connector.

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

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.

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.
