Power Management
Your device will work from its battery or when plugged into a power source.
• Battery — The battery will last for up to four hours. Charge the battery by plugging in the AC
adapter. While the battery is charging the Power Button LED will be solid amber. When the
battery is fully charged, it will be solid green.
• Wall power — Use the device by plugging it into a wall socket. The MiFi Device battery will
charge while it is plugged in.
Using the Battery
• Do not use sharp objects to access the battery well, as this may damage the device and the
battery.
• Do not use excessive force to remove the battery or to access the battery well.
• Battery life depends on the network, signal strength, temperature, features, and accessories
used.
• New batteries or batteries stored for a long time may take more time to charge.
• When charging your battery, keep it near room temperature.
• When storing your battery, keep it uncharged in a cool, dark, dry place.
• Never expose batteries to temperatures below -10 o C (14 o F) or above 45 o C (113 o F). Never leave
the device in an unattended vehicle since temperatures may be outside the temperature
range for this device.
• It is normal for batteries to gradually wear down and require longer charging times. If you
notice a change in your battery life, it is probably time to purchase a new battery.
• Some batteries perform best after several full charge/discharge cycles.
IMPORTANT! Whenever you remove or insert either the battery or the SIM card, ensure your
MiFi device is not connected to any device or power source. Never use tools, knives, keys, pens or
any type of object to force the door open or to remove the battery. Using any of these types of
objects could result in puncturing the MiFi battery.
WARNING! Failure to use approved batteries and chargers may increase the risk that your
device will overheat, catch fire, or explode, resulting in serious bodily injury, death, or property
damage. To avoid risk of explosion, never dispose of batteries in a fire.
