Power Management

Your device will work from its battery or when plugged into a power source.

•

Battery

— The battery lasts for up to four hours. Charge the battery by plugging in the AC

adapter. While the battery is charging the Power Button LED is solid amber. When the battery

is fully charged, the LED is solid green.

•

Wall power

— You can use the device when it is plugged into a wall socket. The MiFi battery

charges while it is plugged in.

•

USB power from a computer

— You can use the device as a USB modem while plugged into

the USB port of a computer, using the supplied microUSB cable. The battery charges while it

is plugged in. Charging the battery through the USB port is slower than charging it with wall

power.

NOTE 

You cannot use MiFi in WiFi mode while it is plugged into a USB port.

Before using MiFi 2200, read the battery safety information in the “Safety Hazards” section of this

Battery Tips

WARNING !

Use only batteries and chargers with your device that have been approved by

your service provider or by Novatel Wireless. Always use Novatel Wireless original batteries and

chargers. The warranty does not cover damage caused by non-Novatel Wireless batteries and/or

chargers.

•

It normally takes at least four hours to fully charge the battery.

•

Do not use sharp objects to access the battery well, this may damage the device and the

battery.

•

Do not use excessive force to remove the battery or to access the battery well.

•

If your MiFi device is connected to a computer using a USB cable, the battery charges.

•

When one device is accessing mobile data while your MiFi device is using battery power, the

device lasts up to four hours.

•

The battery discharges more rapidly as additional devices access your MiFi device.

•

Battery life depends on the network, signal strength, temperature, features, and accessories

you use.

•

Your device also works with an approved car charger.

•

New batteries or batteries stored for a long time may take more time to charge.

•

When charging your battery, keep it near room temperature.

•

When storing your battery, keep it uncharged in a cool, dark, dry place.

•

Never expose batteries to temperatures below -10°C (14°F) or above 45°C (113°F).

•

Never leave the device in an unattended vehicle due to uncontrollable temperatures that

may be outside the desired temperature for this device.

•

Some batteries perform best after several full charge/discharge cycles.

•

It is normal for batteries to gradually wear down and require longer charging times. If you

notice a change in your battery life, it is probably time to purchase a new battery.

IMPORTANT

Whenever you remove or insert either the battery or the SIM card, ensure your

MiFi device is not connected to any device or power source. Never use tools, knives, keys, pens or

any type of object to force the door open or to remove the battery. Using any of these types of

objects could result in puncturing the MiFi battery.

WARNING !

The failure to use approved batteries and chargers may increase the risk that your

device will overheat, catch fire, or explode, resulting in serious bodily injury, death, or property

damage. To avoid risk of explosion, never dispose of batteries in a fire.
