Connecting your Modem
IMPORTANT:
Do not connect the modem to a USB hub, as it might not provide sufficient power.
To properly insert the modem into your device:
1.
Open the USB connector.
Use your thumb to gently flip open the USB connector on your modem. Be sure to avoid over-
extending the USB connector past its resistance point. Avoid opening the USB connector with
metal objects as this might damage the pins.
2.
Insert the modem.
a.
Hold the modem along the side edges and gently insert it into your device’s USB port. It
should fit easily into the port. Do not force the modem into the port as this might damage
both the modem and the port.
b.
Position the modem as indicated in the following illustrations to maintain SAR
compliance and to ensure proper performance. This modem has been designed and
tested to meet SAR compliance as outlined by the FCC. Ensure that the modem maintains
a separation distance of at least 5 mm.
IMPORTANT:
The modem must be positioned at 120° for optimal functionality. Failure to maintain a
position between the normal operating range of 110° - 130° will cause the modem to stop functioning.
