Attention: Before removing the SIM card, ensure that the device is powered

off and disconnected from the power outlet.

(Optional) Using the Table Stand

You can place the device on a flat surface such as a table or a desk, or hang

it on a wall. You can also use the table stand on the device to place it upright.

To use the table stand, insert its latches into the device's table stand slots, as

shown in the following figure.

Note:

To ensure good signal reception, place the device in a high place or near a

window.

To prevent interference caused by radio signals, place the device at least 1

meter (3.28 feet) away from other electrical devices.

(Optional) Installing an External Antenna

In areas with poor network coverage, connect an external antenna to the

device's external antenna port. Screw the external antenna in fully, as shown

in the following figure.

Note:

Skip this section if you do not need to connect an external antenna to the

device.

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

(http://192.168.1.1) and set antenna mode to external. For details, see the

eliminate the risk of possible interference, place the telephone at least 1

meter (3.28 feet) away from the device.

Connecting to a Computer

Use an Ethernet cable to connect a computer to one of the device's LAN

ports, as shown in the following figure.

The device's USB port can supply a maximum current of 500 mA to power

connected USB devices. If the current required by a portable hard disk

drive (or other peripherals) connected to the device is higher than 500 mA,

the device may fail to recognize the hard disk drive. In this case, use an

auxiliary power supply for the hard disk drive. For more information,

contact your service provider.
