P1D Wireless Broadband Modem User Manual
Do not expose the P1D Modem to open flames.
Section 1 – Introduction
Before using your Wireless Broadband Modem for the first time, please read and follow all
warnings, safety, care, cleaning and operating instructions on the Wireless Broadband Modem
label and in this guide. These guidelines will help protect your Wireless Broadband Modem
from potential damage and ensure your personal safety.
Safety Guidelines for Power Connection
Danger - Do not place or use the P1D Wireless Broadband Modem near any body of water.
Accidental immersion can result in electric shock.
Danger - Never alter the AC adapter or plug. If the plug will not fit into the electrical outlet
without force, contact a qualified electrician to install a proper outlet.
Switch your P1D Modem off when near medical equipment, fuel, chemicals, a potentially
explosive atmosphere such as a gasoline station, or when in an area in which blasting is in
progress. Also, switch it off before boarding an aircraft. Follow any other rules, regulations, or
posted notices that apply to the use of electronic or radio equipment.
Before using the P1D Modem near a pacemaker or similar device, consult a physician or the
device manufacturer for more information. In any event, do not use the P1D Modem within 8"
(20 cm) of a pacemaker or similar device.
Do not use the P1D Modem when you need to pay attention to other activities. For example,
never use it while driving or while supervising or operating machinery.
The P1D Modem, like any other wireless communications device, cannot guarantee a
connection in all circumstances. Do not rely on it for matters where a connection is essential.
Connect the AC adapter to 120V or 230V electrical outlets only.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals
To disconnect the unit from mains power, remove the AC adapter from the wall socket.
To reduce the risk of damage, always remove each end of the power cable by pulling the plug
rather than the cable.
Do not allow anything to rest on the power cable.
Do not position the power cable in any area where people will step on it.
Do not use the P1D Modem if the power cable becomes frayed or damaged in any way.
Do not overload the power outlet. Power overloads are often caused by too many electrical
devices connected by extension cords and can result in electric shock or fire.
See Appendix B for important safety information about the internal battery.
Safety Guidelines for the P1D Wireless Broadband Modem
Do not attempt to disassemble the Wireless Broadband Modem; doing so may expose you to
unsafe conditions. The Wireless Broadband Modem does not contain consumer serviceable
components. Service should be performed by the Service Provider Service Center only.
Contact Service Provider Customer Service to find the nearest Service Centre.
Position the Wireless Broadband Modem so that it is protected from falling objects.
The following information includes important safety guidelines regarding exposure to radio
frequency (RF) signals and the use of electronic devices as determined by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC).
Your P1D modem is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and
also sends out RF signals. The FCC has adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for
wireless cellular devices. The FCC guidelines are consistent with the safety standards
previously set by the U.S. and international standards bodies: American National Standards
Institute - ANSI C95.1 (1992); National Council on Radiation and Measurements - NCRP
Report 86 (1986); International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection - ICNIRP
(1996). If you use the modem in accordance with these guidelines, the level of RF exposure
will fall within the FCC guidelines and the standards previously identified.
To comply with the FCC RF exposure rules, the P1D modem has been evaluated against the
Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) limits defined in Section 1.1310 of the FCC rules for
the uncontrolled environment. During normal operation, the modem should be kept a minimum
distance of 20cm (8 inches) away from the user and other persons to ensure compliance with
the MPE limits.
Care and Cleaning Guidelines
Use a clean soft cloth, slightly moistened with water, and wipe the outside surface of the
Modem only.
Do not allow liquids to spill on or into the Wireless Broadband Modem.
Do not expose the Wireless Broadband Modem to extreme heat (over 131° F/+55°C) or cold
(under 14° F/-10°C) temperatures.
Do not leave the Wireless Broadband Modem in a motor vehicle parked in direct sunlight for
more than fifteen minutes.
Do not use aerosol sprays, solvents, or abrasives when cleaning your P1D Modem. These
items may scratch the surface or damage the interior components of the Modem.
To avoid the risk of damage, always switch off P1D Modem and unplug the AC power adapter
from the wall power socket before cleaning them.

Section 3 – Installation and Registration
This chapter explains how to install the hardware, software, register your user information, and
operate your P1D Wireless Broadband Modem.
The instructions are split into the following sub-sections:
P1D Wireless Broadband Modem User Manual
Note:
Before connecting your P1D Modem to a power source, you may want to consider
using a power surge protector. A surge protector is designed to protect electronic devices from
electrical surges and lightning strikes that may damage your computer or modem. If you do not
have a surge protector and would like to use one, contact your local computer or electronics
retailer for further details.
Switch on the P1D Modem by pressing the On/Off switch on the top panel of the P1D for
approximately 1 second. The On indicator will illuminate after the self test (see below). If the
light is blinking this indicates your battery is charged to 50% or less of its capacity and is being
charged. The indicator will stop change to a steady state when the charge level reached
greater than 50%. Even when this happen the battery will continue to be charged to full
capacity for as long as the power unit is plugged and switched.
ƒ Prepare the P1D Modem for use
ƒ Find the Best Radio Signal
ƒ Install the Computer Software
ƒ Connect the Cable between the Modem and the Computer
Note that the P1D will operate from the battery alone for a period of time (see the
specifications section later in this manual), but it is recommended that the Modem is powered
from the supplied power unit whenever possible.
ƒ Perform On-line Registration
Prepare the P1D Modem for use
Find the best radio signal
Unpack the unit and ensure all the parts are there (see section 2).
1.
Remove the rear cover on the P1D modem and fit the small SIM/USIM card (if provided). First
carefully break out the small section from the main credit-card sized body. The break-out
section is known as a “small SIM card”, the type used by most mobile phones and by the P1D
modem. Note, not all service providers will supply a SIM or USIM card. If one is not provided
then it is likely that one is not needed in the particular network setup for your service provider.
Do not fit any other SIM card if one is not provided as this will prevent the P1D Modem from
working.
When first powered one, your Wireless Broadband Modem will perform a short
self-test that will last for approximately four seconds. The P1D Modem will
automatically search for the best radio signal available. An adequate signal
strength is shown by the indicators glowing constantly, if there is no signal
then the indicators will be off. If there is a strong signal the indicators may be
fully on. The integrated antenna is directional so in order to obtain a
sufficiently strong signal it may be necessary to rotate the modem slowly in
the horizontal plane in order to get sufficient signal to cause the signal
strengthindicators to go fro flashing to steady state. (Placing the Modem next
to a window can often result in an increased signal level). The stronger the
signal the higher the maximum achievable data transfer rate.
SIM/USIM card
as supplied
Break out section
Rotate the Modem until
the strongest available
signal is received, as
shown by the top panel
indicators.
Fit the battery and replace the rear cover. Insert the P1D Modem in the stand in the stand
provided, if used. Plug in the PC interface cable into the side of the P1D modem, do not plug
the other end into your PC at this stage. Plug in power supply connector into the side of the
Modem and then fit the power pack unit into an appropriate wall socket.
(If you cannot obtain a useable signal, refer to the troubleshooting section in
Appendix A.)

Appendix A – Troubleshooting Tips
b)
If this is the first time you have tried to use the Modem and you do not see any
signal strength LEDs illuminated, try repositioning the modem to see if the signal
strength indicator illuminates. If you still cannot obtain a signal, try moving the
modem near to a window. The Modem is receiving an adequate signal when the
signal strength indicators are illuminated. If all the above fails, you may not be within
the coverage area of the service network. Call your Service Providers Customer
Service for more information about the coverage area.
c)
If you have used the Modem successfully at least once, and you have changed your
location, you may not be within the coverage area of the service network. Call your
Service Provider for Technical Support to determine the coverage area.
Troubleshooting Tips
Please review these troubleshooting tips if you experience trouble with software installation,
user registration, finding a radio signal, or connecting to the Internet. You may achieve a faster
resolution to your trouble if you first consult and follow the tips before calling your Service
Provider for Technical Support.
Warning: Do not attempt any repair to the P1D Modem yourself. Any resulting damage to the
Modem may create an unsafe condition.
4.
If your trouble is not listed in this section, call your Service Provider for Technical Support. The
technical support representative will ask for your name, your location, your phone number, the
serial number located on the back of the P1D Modem underneath the battery cover, and any
error messages that may have displayed. You may need to provide your username and
password if the problem is related to your service or your account rather than the Modem and
its associated software.
1.
Remember, your PC operating system must be compatible with the supported
operating systems: Windows 98 (Second Edition), Windows ME, Windows
2000 and Windows XP.
The Connection Software No longer Operates Correctly
5.
The signal strength indicators are flashing slowly
a)
Although you have sufficient signal strength to connect to the Internet, your modem
may not be optimally positioned to receive the best signal strength and achieve the
best data transfer rates. Try moving the position of the modem to maximize the
number of illuminated LEDs.
b)
You may also achieve a stronger signal if you place the modem near a window, but
avoid direct sunlight.
The Modem indicators on the top panel are not
showing the expected display information
Check that the third party software, listed in Appendix I, is installed and if not then install.
Contact your Service Provider for Technical Support as needed.
The indicators can signal a number of error or warning conditions if the modem experiences a
hardware fault, software upgrade or dialer attachment is required. Please refer to Appendix D
for a detailed list of all possible display warning combinations.
2.
6.
The power indicator is on but the display does not
illuminate
The Modem disconnects unexpectedly
a)
If you are connected with the AC Adapter, check to see if you are using a switched
wall socket. You may need to simply flip the switch. (If you are using the modem
away from an AC power source, you could have a discharged battery.)
Check for loose connections on both ends of the computer interface cable and the power
cable. If all connections are secure, you may have had a bad connection. Try connecting to the
Internet again. If your subsequent connection attempts fail, call your Service Provider for
Technical Support.
b)
Plug the Wireless Broadband Modem into another wall socket to check the power.
7.
c)
Check for loose ends on the power cable. If the display still does not illuminate, your
P1D Modem may have been damaged. Contact your Service Provider for Technical
Support for assistance.
There are several conditions that can result in slower access speed that are not related to your
P1D Modem’s performance:
3.
No signal indicators are illuminated on the Modem top
panel
a)
Following power up, allow about thirty seconds for the Wireless Broadband Modem
to communicate with a local base station, at which point there should be some
indication of signal strength.
The Modem speed is not fast enough
The access speed is related to the radio signal strength. Ensure that you are receiving the
best possible signal by moving the Modem and if possible locating it next to a window. The
faster the signal quality indicators flash the better the signal. When they are lit continuously
then you are receiving a strong signal that should enable maximum possible data speed.
You may have subscribed to a Service Level that limits the data rate. You can increase your
Service Level on the registration web page or call your Service Providers Customer Service.

You may be accessing a slow web site. A web site can cause a traffic jam on the Internet's
backbone because many people converge on it at once or that site's server does not have the
capacity to handle its traffic. In these cases, it does not matter what speed your modem can
achieve. Tip: Surf these sites when Internet traffic is low. Heaviest traffic is usually on
weekends and evenings. You can also configure your browser so it won't display graphics,
animations, sound, video or other multimedia content.
To avoid problems during the installation it is advisable to configure your system to ignore
Digital Signatures during the installation of Wireless Broadband Modem software and device
drivers. You can revert to your original configuration once the drivers are installed. To change
your systems Digital Signature configurations follow these simple steps. Right click “My
Computer” and select “Properties”, under the “Hardware” tab within the “Device Manager”
section select “Driver Signing”. Within the “File Signature Verification” section you will notice
the options “Ignore/Warn/Block” select “Ignore” and “Apply” change. Repeat the installation
procedure as before.
If you do not think that any of the above conditions are causing the problem, call your Service
Provider for Technical Support.

Connected Modem before installing the Connection
Software
If you connect your P1D Wireless Broadband modem to your PC via USB before installing the
USB driver software contained on the PC Software installation CD your modem drivers are
likely to be missing preventing you from making a connect via your 3G modem.
To correct this it is necessary for the modem to be uninstalled from the system and the proper
documented procedure be followed carefully to insure your 3G modem is correctly re-installed.
The Wireless Broadband Modem MUST remain connected to you PC during the following
removal process.
ƒ
Open “Device Manager” by clicking the right mouse button (left button if configured for a
left handed user) on the “My Computer” icon and select “Properties”.
−
Windows 98/ME users should select the “Device Manger” Tab located at the top of
the “System Properties” Dialog window.
−
Windows 2000/XP users should select the “Hardware” Tab and select the “Device
Manager”.
ƒ

shown as installed remove/uninstall all references to your Wireless Broadband Modem.
Removal is now complete and you MUST restart your computer before attempting to re-install
the P1D Modem.
9.
Driver Installation fails due to “digital signature not
found”
Windows 2000 and Windows XP may be configured to “Block” or “Warn” you when an attempt
is made to install a device driver that does not contain a valid digital signature. If configured to
“Block” the installation operation will fail, if set to “Warn” you will be given the option to
continue the installation by selecting “Yes” on the warning dialog window.
Registration fails because the PC does not accept
“Cookies”
When you register with the ISP, you provide a username and password that the wireless
network uses to identify you when you connect. For your convenience, these attributes are
stored within the PC so that you do not need to enter them manually. The registration server
sends a small file, called a cookie, to your PC. The cookie contains the username and
password information. In order for the registration process to complete successfully, you must
configure your browser application to accept cookies. Once registration has completed, you
may disable receipt of cookies, if desired, however you should not delete them. See the FAQs
in Appendix C for instructions on how to set cookie preferences on your browser.
11.
The Browser did not go directly to the registration
screen
Manually type the registration web page URL (check the Modem packaging or contact your
Service Provider for this information) in the browser address window and then press enter on
your keyboard. If you get an error message similar to the “page cannot be displayed”, there
might be maintenance occurring on the web site. Call your Service Provider for Technical
Support or try again later.
12.
The Connect / Disconnect button is not highlighted on
the Status Monitor screen but a radio signal is present
On rare occasions, the “Wireless Broadband Modem Status Monitor” will lose contact with the
Modem. The “Wireless Broadband Modem Status Monitor” should be shut down and restarted
to clear the problem. If the problem persists the computer COM port that the Connection
Software and the Wireless Broadband Modem are using may have become “locked up” and
cannot be freed until the computer is shutdown (powered off) and restarted.
If there is still a problem after shutting down and restarting you computer, call your Service
Provider for Technical Support.
13.
Error Message “Invalid Password”
a)
This error message means that the network no longer recognizes your username
and/or password.
b)
Check that your username and password were entered correctly.
- Page 23 of 47 - Page 24 of 47 -
P1D Wireless Broadband Modem User Manual
c)
The ISP’s server does not allow more than one simultaneous connection to the
network with the same username and password. Do not share your username and
password with other Wireless Broadband Modem users.
d)
If you cannot correct the problem, call your Service Provider for Technical Support.
14.
Error Message “No Answer”
On rare occasions, the server will not receive the message advising it that the previous
session has ended. There is a timeout of a few minutes before the server will accept a
subsequent connection. If you recently had a successful connection, wait a few
minutes before trying again.
15.
Wireless Broadband Modem Not Responding
a)
Check that the computer interface cable is securely connected to the PC and
modem.
b)
Check that the modem power button is on.
c)
If the Modem still does not respond, try restarting the PC and then restart the
Connection Software application.
Occasionally, the PC COM port that the
Connection Software and the Modem are using can become “locked up” and cannot
be freed until the PC is restarted.

Appendix B – Battery Information
Battery
Your Wireless Broadband Modem has a removable lithium ion battery that charges
automatically from the USB connection or the AC Adapter. The green LED incorporated into
the On/Off switch on the Modem top panel indicates the charge level; it will flash if the level is
below 50% and be steady when the level is 50% or more.
The internal battery will allow you to operate the Wireless Broadband Modem with your laptop
without connection to an AC power source or USB power source. The internal battery life
depends upon your usage of the Wireless Broadband Modem. For example, video
conferencing will consume battery life faster than web browsing.
Typically the battery will be useable for about 2 years or around 1000 charge/discharge cycles.
It is advised that you obtain a replacement battery when your battery does not seem to hold its
charge for more 50% of the time at new.
When the internal battery no longer holds adequate charge, a replacement battery may be
obtained via your Service Provider.
Tip: To conserve internal battery life, remember the following:
When you are mobile and not using the modem, turn it off.
d)
If the status bar still reports “Wireless Broadband Modem not Responding”, contact
your Service Provider for Technical Support for assistance.
Avoid exposing the modem to extreme hot or cold temperatures such as leaving it in a hot car
for more than fifteen minutes.
Battery Safety Guidelines
Only use batteries approved by IPWireless. Use the battery only for its intended purpose.
Never dispose of batteries in a fire or incinerator, or in municipal waste. Batteries must be
disposed of or recycled properly. Never use a battery that is damaged or worn out.
