USB8L USER GUIDE
10
While starting up, the status light slowly blinks green.
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.
Connecting to the Internet
Your modem is set to automatically connect to the internet except when you are roaming.
Once the modem is inserted and connected to your wireless network, the status light turns solid
green. (The light is amber when roaming.) You are now connected to the Internet.
Removing the Modem
IMPORTANT:
Be sure to disconnect from the network and close browsers, email, VPN, and other
communication apps to avoid potential problems such as automatic shutdown or screen freezing.
When your USB modem not in use, you can safely remove it by gently gripping the edges and pulling
it out of the USB port.
NOTE:
On Mac OS devices, click the eject icon next to the modem icon in the Finder sidebar to eject
the modem.
Caring for your Modem
Like any electronic product, the USB8L must be handled with care to ensure reliable operation. The
following guidelines are recommended:
•
Protect the USB8L from liquids, dust, and excessive temperatures.
•
Do not apply adhesive labels to the modem; they might cause the modem to overheat or alter
antenna performance.
•
The USB connector should plug easily into your device’s standard Type A USB port. Forcing the
modem into a port might damage the connector.
•
Remove the modem from your device before transporting it.
•
Store the modem in a dry secure location when not in use.
