•  Place the MAX208M indoors in an area free of moisture and 

excessive humidity and/or heat.

•  Keep the MAX208M away from other wireless devices, cordless 

phones, microwave devices, or radio transmitters as they may 
interfere with its connections.

•  Keep the MAX208M free of obstruction.

Connecting to the Internet

This section shows you how to connect to the Internet with your 
MAX208M.

1.  

Check your MAX208M’s 

WiMAX Link

 LED.

•  If everything is connected properly and a WiMAX base station is 

within range, then the 

WiMAX Link 

LED shines a steady green, 

indicating a stable connection. The 

Strength Indicator

 LEDs will 

turn on to show the signal strength as follows: LED 1 - low strength 
signal; LEDs 1 and 2 - medium strength signal; LEDs 1, 2 and 3 - 
high strength signal.  If the signal strength is low or medium, you 
can try to adjust the position of the device to increase the strength.  
Go to step 2.

•  If the 

WiMAX Link 

LED is blinking, then the MAX208M is 

undergoing a self-test. If it turns a steady green shortly thereafter, 
this indicates a stable connection. Go to step 2. 

•  If the 

WiMAX Link 

LED remains off or continues blinking, you will 

not be able to connect. See the User’s Guide for more 
troubleshooting steps.
