Inserting and Connecting Your Modem
Properly Insert the Modem into Your Device
Open the USB connector
➊
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.
To properly insert the modem
➋
Hold the modem along the side edges and gently insert it into your device’s USB port. On
most devices, insert the modem with the label facing up. It should fit easily into the port.
Some devices might orient the USB port so the modem label faces down or sideways. Do not
force the modem into the port as this might damage both the modem and the port.
➌
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. If the modem is connected to USB ports other than
those shown, 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.
NOTE
If you are having difficulty inserting the modem into your device’s USB port, verify that you are
inserting the modem in the correct orientation and that you are using a Type A USB port. While
starting up, the Status LED will blink slowly in green.
