Important Safety Information
This booklet contains important operational and safety information that will help you safely use your
hotspot. Failure to read and follow the information provided in this booklet may result in serious bodily
injury, death, or property damage.
General Precautions
There are several simple guidelines to operating your hotspot properly and maintaining safe,
satisfactory service.
•
Avoid exposing your hotspot and accessories to rain or liquid spills. If your hotspot does get
wet, immediately turn the power off and remove the battery.
•
Do not expose your hotspot to direct sunlight for extended periods of time (such as on the
dashboard of a car).
•
Although your hotspot is quite sturdy, it is a complex piece of equipment and can be broken.
Avoid dropping, hitting, bending, or sitting on it.
•
Any changes or modifications to your hotspot not expressly approved in this document could
void your warranty for this equipment and void your authority to operate this equipment.
Note:
For the best care of your device, only an authorized personnel of your service provider
should service your hotspot and accessories. Failure to do so may be dangerous and void your
warranty.
Caring for the Battery
● Protecting Your Battery
The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your battery’s performance.
•
Recently there have been some public reports of wireless hotspot batteries overheating,
catching fire, or exploding. It appears that many, if not all, of these reports involve counterfeit
or inexpensive, aftermarket-brand batteries with unknown or questionable manufacturing
standards. Your service provider may or may not be aware of similar problems with their
hotspots resulting from the proper use of batteries and accessories approved by your service
provider or the manufacturer of your hotspot. Use only your service provider-approved or
manufacturer-approved batteries and accessories found at their stores or through your
hotspot’s manufacturer, or call your service provider to order. They may also be available at
your service provider’s website. Buying the right batteries and accessories is the best way to
ensure they’re genuine and safe.
•
In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in temperatures that range from 32
°
F to
113
°
F (0
°
C to 45
°
C).
•
Don’t use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in high humidity areas, such as the
bathroom.
•
Never dispose of the battery by incineration.
