Getting on the Internet
The Sprint PHS is easy to use and operate. With simple connection and setup you will be surfing the
Internet with your personal wireless network in a matter of seconds. In brief, simply connect your dataenabled cell phone (contact your service provider for details) or a USB Modem to the USB Port on the Sprint
PHS. Turn on the Sprint PHS using the ON / OFF switch on the unit and turn on your cell phone (USB
modems will automatically be enabled).
The Sprint PHS and phone will automatically create your network. If you are using a cell phone, be sure you
have configured the phone’s settings to act as a modem. Once your Sprint PHS has fully booted and
operating along side your USB modem or phone, use the wireless network finder on your computer to
associate with your new wireless network. The first time you use the Sprint PHS your network will be
named:
SPRINTPHS-xxx
Where ‘xxx’ is the last three digits of the Sprint PHS’s MAC Address. The MAC Address can be found on
the bottom of the unit. The password, by default, is the last 6 characters of the unit’s MAC address.
Once your computer has associated with your new wireless network, you are ready to start surfing. Simply
open your favorite Web Browser, enter your password at the Login screen, and select the Login button. We
recommend that you change your password after your first login, which is easily accomplished from the
Sprint PHS’s Admin and Setup pages.
(See Setting Your Password for details.)
So how does it all work?
802.11
The Sprint PHS contains a 802.11a/b/g
WiFi router. Your phone provides access to the Internet
through the data network. When your phone is connected to the Sprint PHS, the unit creates a local
WiFi network and connects to the Internet through your service provider’s data network. This creates
your own personal, portable wireless network or “hotspot”. Set it up anywhere within your cellular
service provider’s coverage area whenever you want access to the Internet, check your email, or work
via a VPN. Depending on your handset model, the Sprint PHS even charges your handset at the
same time.

These allow excess heat to be removed from the SPRINT PHS while operating. It is recommended that the unit not be
covered with any material that will block the dispersion of heat away from the unit. The unit should not reach extreme
temperatures.
This cover protects an d secures the battery. Remove to replace the battery.
To return all the User Defined configurations (such as those specified in the Setup / Help Pages) to their original factory
default settings simply turn the unit OFF, open the battery cover and locate a small hole denoted by a triangle, press and
hold the Factory Default Reset button using a paper clip or other small tool, and turn the unit ON. After the LEDs have
flashed ON then OFF then ON again, release the button. All setting should be reset.
OFF
The unit is completely OFF when the unit is not connected to external power and the ON / OFF switch is in the OFF
position.
The unit will charge its own battery and some phone batteries if switched OFF and connected to external power.
* No access to the router or the wireless network can be established while the unit is OFF.
CAUTION: Using a power supply with a different voltage than the one included with your
product will cause damage to the unit and void the warranty.
ON / OFF Switch
ON
If the unit is ON and not connected to a phone or handset, it’s Admin and Setup Pages are still accessible by associating
with its SSID (Network Name) and entering 192.168.0.1 into the URL bar of a web browser. Note: Login will be required to
access the Sprint PHS Admin and Setup Pages
If the unit is ON and connected to a fully operable data-enabled cell phone or USB modem, a wireless network will be
automatically established. Some laptops will automatically associate with the network. In some cases the user will need to
select the wireless network from their laptop’s wireless network list. (Details vary by Operating System.)
The unit will operate off external power exclusively while connected to an external power source. If there is sufficient
excess power available the unit will also charge some phones. This feature varies by phone manufacturer and model.
External Power Connection
USB-to-Modem Port
The power connector is a standard jack size and when connected to the proper cable and an external power source will
power the SPRINT PHS according to the specifications listed in the ON / OFF switch section of the Controls list.
This is a standard USB port that is used to connect either to a USB modem or to a data-enabled cellular phone. Cables for
USB to Data connection vary by phone manufacturer and are not provided with the Sprint PHS. Contact your service
provider for further information.
