The following are some common troubleshooting solutions.

My MiFi 4510L just powered off without my pressing the power button. Why?

This may occur under any of the following circumstances:

•

Pressing the Master Reset button

•

Restarting the device

•

Switching profiles

•

Restoring the configuration settings

•

Battery depletion

To restore battery power, follow these steps:

➋

If the battery is depleted, charge the device using the wall charger.

How do I reset the MiFi 4510L device back to factory settings?

The master reset button is in a small hole located on the bottom of the device, underneath the

battery cover. This button returns the device to factory settings, including re-setting the network

name (SSID) and network key (Wi-Fi passkey) to those printed on the sticker affixed to the back of

the device. (The original SSID and password also appear on the front of the Connect Card.) To reset

the device, follow these steps:

➊

Place one end of an unfolded paper clip into the master reset button hole.

➋

Press the paper clip on the button until the LED blinks green one full blink plus a very brief

blink (about five seconds).
