Components of Your Device
Your device consists of these main components:
●
Wi-Fi access point
The Wi-Fi access point connects your computers and other Wi-Fi-enabled devices to your device.
●
3G modem
The 3G modem connects your device to the Internet via the 3G (CDMA 1X/EVDO) network (more
widely available, compared with 4G).
●
4G modem
The 4G modem connects your device to the Internet via the 4G (WiMAX) network (newer
technology and faster speeds, compared with 3G).
●
Routing hardware
The routing hardware handles traffic between the 3G or 4G modems, the Wi-Fi access point, and
the Wi-Fi network.
3G and 4G Networks
These wireless networks connect you to the Internet. Depending on your coverage area, you may
have:
●
Both 3G and 4G coverage
●
Only 3G coverage
●
Only 4G coverage.
Your device automatically connects to the fastest network that is available to you. If you have both 3G
and 4G coverage and your connection happens to get disrupted, your device can automatically
switch to the other network. (For more information, see “Configuring the 3G/4G Connection
Preferences” on page 45.)

Care and Maintenance
As with any electronic device, you should handle this device with care to ensure reliable operation.
Follow these guidelines in using and storing the device:
●
Protect the device from liquids, dust, and excessive heat.
●
Do not handle or operate the device while driving or operating a vehicle. Doing so may distract
you from properly operating the vehicle. In some jurisdictions, operating communication
devices while in control of a vehicle is a criminal offense.
●
Do not apply adhesive labels to the device. They may cause the device to overheat and may
alter the antenna’s performance.

Connecting Through USB
Note:
If you’ll be using USB for data transfer (and not just for charging the device), you must install the
device driver. (See “Making a Tethered Connection” on page 29.)
Use the micro-USB cable (included) to connect the device to your computer when:
●
You want to charge the device, but you don’t want to use the AC charger, or the AC charger is
not available.
●
Your computer does not have Wi-Fi.
●
You want to block others from using the device. (See “Disabling Wi-Fi When Connected
Through USB” on page 94.)

Your Device
To connect the device to your computer:
1.
Insert the larger end of the micro-USB cable into your computer.
2.
Insert the other end of the cable into the micro-USB port on the side of your device.
Note:
If you’re having problems, see “Cannot Connect Through USB” on page 134.
Charging the Device
You need to recharge your device’s battery periodically. You can continue using your device while it is
charging.
The faster method is to connect the device to the AC charger. (See “Using the AC Charger with Your
Device’s micro-USB Port” below.) Alternatively, you can connect the device to your computer, although
this charges more slowly. (See “Charging Through Your Computer” on page 13.)
Using the AC Charger with Your Device’s micro-USB Port
1.
Insert the larger end of the micro-USB cable into the AC charger.
2.
Insert the other end of the cable into the micro-USB port on the side of your device.
3.
Insert the AC charger into an electrical outlet.
When charging, the LCD shows
and, if the device is off, displays a message “Charging...
xx% complete” (where “xx” is a number value).
When the device is charged, the LCD shows:
●
(if the device is on)
●
and the message “Fully charged” (if the device is off).
