Using Your Device 7
–
When the Network Extender is set to managed access mode,
unauthorized users are redirected to the nearest compatible cell tower
wherever possible.
•
Verify service on Network Extender
: Users can verify that they are
on the Verizon Wireless Network Extender network by dialing
#48
(and
receiving an audio announcement). You will also hear a short double
tone on your wireless phone when making or receiving a call while on
the Network Extender network. The tone is played at the beginning of
the call.
Note:
A seventh channel, open to all callers, is always reserved for
emergency (E911) calls.
•
Connect to the Network Extender
: In order to establish an initial
connection to the Network Extender network, your Verizon Wireless
mobile phone needs to move within close proximity (approximately 15
feet) of the Network Extender unit.
•
Calling on Network Extender
: After connecting to the Network
Extender network, you can move within a broader perimeter while
remaining under Network Extender coverage (approximately 40 feet).

for more details.
•
Ranges Will Vary
: Both the coverage area required to establish an
initial connection and the broader coverage area of the Network
Extender cannot be guaranteed and may vary due to environmental
factors, such as physical structures and the strength of the external
cell tower coverage.
The Network Extender uses approximately 40 kbps (downlink
and uplink) of the broadband connections bandwidth per voice
call. EVDO data calls will use a maximum of 3.1 Mbps downlink
and 1.8 Mbps uplink
The Network Extender maximizes wireless phone utility within a
small area by not only providing better voice quality, but by also
allowing you to use this new service without any enhancements
to your existing Verizon Wireless mobile phones.
By utilizing a built-in GPS antenna, the Network Extender is
capable of maintaining exact network timing updates and
providing E911 services with an accurate location.
•
The GPS extension cable (provided with your Verizon Wireless Network
Extender) allows you to place the Verizon Wireless Network Extender
further from a window and run the antenna to an area with stronger
GPS reception.
Warning!:
You may not be able to make 911 calls in the event of an electrical
power outage, broadband connection failure, or other service
disruption outside of the Verizon Wireless network coverage area.
911 services may be limited in areas outside of the Verizon
Wireless network coverage area. Not all public safety answering
points have location-based E911 technology. Always be prepared
to report your location to the 911 operator when placing an
emergency call. Mobile phones operate using radio signals which
cannot guarantee connection in all conditions.
