2 Installation

Installing the USIM card

If you want to use LTE/3G wireless data service and voice service, please install

the USIM card.

1. Pull out the card slot cover and rotate it to reveal the USIM card slot.

2. Partially insert the USIM card into the card slot. Ensure that the beveled edge

of the USIM card aligns with that of the card slot. Gently push the card until it

clicks into place.

3. Close the card slot cover.

Before removing the USIM card, ensure that the router is powered off and

disconnected from the power outlet.

(Optional) Installing the external antenna

If you want to use LTE/3G wireless data and voice service, in areas with poor

reception, connect external antenna to the router's external antenna port to

improve signal reception.

Only use the external antenna indoors, and do not use it during thunderstorm.

Before using external antenna, log in to the web management page

(http://192.168.1.1) and set Antenna mode to Outer. For details, see the help

information on the web management page.

Install external antenna into the SMA1 port first. If it's necessary, screw another

external antenna fully into the SMA2 port to get a stronger receiving signal, and

place it at least 1 meter away from the external antenna installed on SMA1 port.

Only installing an external antenna to SMA2 port will result in your router not being

able to connect to the Internet.

Installing the handset battery

1. Slide the battery cover off.

2. Insert the battery into the battery slot. Ensure that the golden contacts of the

battery mate securely with those in the battery slot.

3. Slide the battery cover back onto the handset.

If the handset will not be used for a long time, remove the battery from the handset.

Connecting cables

After the router is installed, keep it upright, so the indicators are easy to see.

Furthermore, when placed flat, the router may be damaged due to poor heat

dissipation.

Ethernet port on the

wall Computer

USB flash drive Power adapter

The telephone port cannot be used at this time, connection with this port will bring no

response on your telephone.

3 Powering the device on

Once connected to a power outlet, the router automatically powers on.

To power the handset on, press and hold key until the screen lights up.

4 Registering the handset

Skip this section if is shown on your handset screen.

When registering a handset with the router, ensure that the handset is near the

router. After the handset is registered, use the handset within range of the router.

Otherwise, the handset will display a message and disconnect from the router.

You can register a maximum of 6 handsets with the router.

1. Press and hold on the router for over 3 seconds until blinks

quickly.

2. On the handset, select Menu > Settings > Handset > Register handset.

3. Press the up and down navigation keys to scroll to the base with which you

want to register the handset, and then enter the registration password.

The default registration password is 0000. To change the password, select Menu >

Settings > Base > Security > Change system PIN.

Wait until is shown on your handset screen, the handset is registered with

the router successfully.

To deregister the handset, select Menu > Settings > Handset > Deregister

handset. You cannot use the handset after it has been deregistered.
