Battery Tips
WARNING !
Use only batteries and chargers with your device that have been approved 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 three hours to fully charge the battery with the wall charger.
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.
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 -20°C (4°F) or above 60°C (140°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.
