Assemble the Router

The router requires assembly. The SIM card and antennas must be installed and positioned.



To assemble the router:

1.

Install the 4G LTE SIM card.

Note:

The SIM (subscriber identity module) card is a small rectangular plastic

card that stores your phone number and important information about your

wireless service. Insert the SIM card into the slot until you hear a click.

Insert the SIM card into the labeled SIM card slot with its gold contacts facing back and its

cut-off corner facing inward.

If you need to remove your SIM card from your router, gently press the SIM card inward

to release it, and remove it from the slot.

2.

Install the antennas.

The Verizon 4G LTE router comes with two detachable antennas. These two external

antennas are required for proper 4G LTE service and are in addition to the internal

antennas that are used for Wi-Fi.

Note:

For best 4G LTE reception, position these external antennas so that

they are at right angles to each other.

angles to each other.

Place the Router

Position your router upright. Place your router near an AC power outlet in a location where

you can connect the cables you need for your home network. The router must also be

located where you can receive a strong mobile broadband signal while indoors (preferably

near a window) if you are planning to connect to the Internet using mobile broadband.

Optional: Horizontal Mount

Note:

The Verizon 4G LTE router comes attached to a vertical stand. The

upright position saves space, optimizes antenna position, and

improves Wi-Fi signal strength for best performance when you are

browsing the Internet, streaming videos, downloading or uploading

files.

You can remove the detachable plastic base for the vertical stand when you prefer to place

the router horizontally on a flat surface.
