Caring for Your Jetpack

Like any electronic device, the Jetpack must be handled with care to ensure reliable operation.

Novatel Wireless recommends the following guidelines:

•

Protect the Jetpack from liquids, dust, and excessive temperatures.

•

Do not apply adhesive labels to the Jetpack; they might cause the Jetpack to potentially

overheat and they might alter the performance of the antenna.

•

Store the Jetpack in a safe place when not in use.

With LTE bandwidth (700 MHz) you can get the broadband speed you require to work efficiently

outside the home or office. You can connect to the Internet, access your corporate intranet, check

your email and download attachments at speeds that are up to 10 times faster than 3G*.

4G Mobile Broadband with LTE*

Speeds shown are those published by Verizon Wireless, Inc. and are theoretical in nature. Actual throughput speed and coverage

may vary. Speed claims not applicable when roaming.

**

Mobile Broadband Rev.A speed claim based on Verizon Wireless network tests with 5 MB FTP data files without compression.

Your Mobile Broadband Rev. A-enabled Jetpack will indicate coverage when you are in a Mobile Broadband Rev. A service area.

When outside the Rev. A service area, your wireless Jetpack will revert to Mobile Broadband Rev. 0 (typical download speeds will

be 400–700 Kbps and upload speeds will be 60–80 Kbps).
