Electrostatic discharge (ESD)
Electrical and electronic devices are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). Macintosh native
connection software might attempt to reinitialize the device should a substantial electrostatic
discharge reset the device. If the software is not operational after an ESD occurrence, then restart
your computer.

Proper Battery Use and Disposal
IMPORTANT
In event of a battery leak:
Do not allow the liquid to come in contact with the skin or the eyes. If contact has been
made, wash the affected area with large amounts of water and seek medical advice.
Seek medical advice immediately if a battery has been swallowed.
Communicate the appropriate steps to be taken if a hazard occurs. Due to the transmission
and reception properties of wireless communications, data occasionally can be lost or
delayed.
Please review the following guidelines for safe and responsible battery use.
Do not disassemble or open, crush, bend or deform, puncture, or shred.
Do not modify or remanufacture, attempt to insert a foreign object into the battery, immerse
or expose to water or other liquids, or expose to fire, explosion, or other hazard.
Only use the battery for the system for which it was specified.
Only use the battery with a charging system that has been qualified with the system per
this standard. Use of an unqualified battery or charger may present a risk of fire, explosion,
leakage, or other hazard.
Do not short circuit a battery or allow a metallic or conductive object to contact the battery
terminals.
Replace the battery only with another battery that has been qualified with the system per
this standard. Use of an unqualified battery may present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage, or
other hazard.
Promptly dispose of used batteries in accordance with local regulations.
Battery usage by children should be supervised.
Avoid dropping the Jetpack or battery. If the Jetpack or the battery is dropped, especially on
a hard surface, and the user suspects damage, take it to a service center for inspection.
Improper battery use may result in a fire, explosion, or other hazard.

Glossary
1X
— Internet at 1/10 the speed of EV-DO.
3G
— Third Generation. 3G refers to the third generation of mobile telephony technology.
4G LTE
— Fourth Generation. 4G LTE refers to the fourth generation of mobile telephony technology.
802.11 (b, g, n)
— A set of WLAN communication standards in the 2.4, 3.6 and 5 GHz frequency bands.
bps
— Bits per second. The rate of data flow.
Broadband
— High-capacity high-speed transmission channel with a wider bandwidth than
conventional modem lines. Broadband channels can carry video, voice, and data simultaneously.
CDMA
— Code Division Multiple Access. It is the underlying channel access method used by some
mobile phone standards.
DHCP
— Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. Software found in servers and routers that
automatically assigns temporary IP addresses to clients logging into an IP network.
DHCP Server
— A server or service with a server that assigns IP addresses.
DNS
— Domain Name System. A system for converting host names and domain names into IP
addresses on the Internet or on local networks that use the TCP/IP protocol.
EV-DO Rev 0
— CDMA EV-DO Rev. 0 is a leading-edge wireless technology with higher data rates and
higher system capacity. It is a fully backward compatible standard and remains interoperable with
deployed EV-DO networks and devices around the world. Rev 0 provides access to mobile devices
with forward link speeds of up to 2.4 Mbit/s, and reverse link speeds up to 152 kbit/s. For more
information, visit

.
EV-DO Rev A
— CDMA EV-DO Rev. A is a leading-edge wireless technology with higher data rates and
higher system capacity. It is a fully backward compatible standard and remains interoperable with
deployed EV-DO networks and devices around the world. Rev A provides access to mobile devices
with forward link speed of up to 3.1 Mbit/s, and reverse link speeds up to 1.8 Mbit/s. The increased
data rates on Rev. A’s physical layer enable richer applications and services. For more information, visit

Firmware
— A computer program embedded in an electronic device. Firmware usually contains
operating code for the device.
GB
— Gigabyte. A multiple of the unit byte for digital information storage. Usage depends on context.
When referring to disk capacities it usually means 10
9
bytes. It also applies to data transmission
quantities over telecommunication circuits.
Hotspot
— A Wi-Fi (802.11) access point or the area covered by an access point. Used for connecting
to the Internet.
HTTP
— Hypertext Transfer Protocol. An application-level protocol for accessing the World Wide Web
over the Internet.
IEEE —
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. An international technical/professional society
that promotes standardization in technical disciplines.

IMEI
— International Mobile Equipment Identity. Used in LTE networks to identify the device. It is
usually printed on the device and can often be retrieved using a USSD code.
IP
— Internet Protocol. The mechanism by which packets are routed between computers on a
network.
IP Type
— The type of service provided over a network.
IP address
— Internet Protocol address. The address of a device attached to an IP network (TCP/IP
network).
ISP
— Internet Service Provider. Also referred to as the service carrier, an ISP provides Internet
connection service. (
See
Network Operator)
Kbps
— Kilobits per second. The rate of data flow.
LAN
— Local Area Network. A type of network that lets a group of computers, all in close proximity
(such as inside an office building), communicate with one another. It does not use common carrier
circuits though it can have gateways or bridges to other public or private networks.
MAC Address
— Media Access Control. A number that uniquely identifies each network hardware
device. MAC addresses are 12-digit hexadecimal numbers. This is also known as the physical or
hardware address.
Mbps
— Megabits per second. The rate of data flow.
MSID
— Mobile Station IDentifier. A number for a mobile phone that identifies that phone to the
network. These numbers are carrier specific.
Network Operator
— The vendor who provides your wireless access. Known by different names in
different regions, some examples are: wireless provider, network provider, and service provider.
Network Technology
— The technology on which a particular network provider’s system is built; such
as CDMA or EVDO.
Port
— A virtual data connection used by programs to exchange data. It is the endpoint in a logical
connection. The port is specified by the port number.
Port Forwarding
— A process that allows remote devices to connect to a specific computer within a
private LAN.
Port Number
A 16-bit number used by the TCP and UDP protocols to direct traffic on a TCP/IP
host. Certain port numbers are standard for common applications.
PRL
