<HTMLBlock>{`
<h3>1.  Attach the Telit LE910Cx or ME910C1-WW mini PCIe module to the HAT.</h3>
`}</HTMLBlock>

<h3>2.  Attach the antenna to the mini PCIe module.</h3>
`}</HTMLBlock>

Make sure the right antenna is connected to the right port. Attach LTE full band PCB antenna/LTE connector of the LTE-GNSS dual antenna to the main Antenna interface/diversity antenna interface & GPS Antenna portion goes to the GNSS antenna interface.
