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. Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals 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 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.

P1D Wireless Broadband Modem User Manual - Page 11 of 46 - 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:  Prepare the P1D Modem for use  Find the Best Radio Signal  Install the Computer Software  Connect the Cable between the Modem and the Computer  Perform On-line Registration Prepare the P1D Modem for use Unpack the unit and ensure all the parts are there (see section 2). 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. 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. SIM/USIM card as supplied Break out section
P1D Wireless Broadband Modem User Manual - Page 12 of 46 - 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. 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. Find the best radio signal 1. 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. (If you cannot obtain a useable signal, refer to the troubleshooting section in Appendix A.) Rotate the Modem until the strongest available signal is received, as shown by the top panel indicators.

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.  Remember, your PC operating system must be compatible with the supported operating systems: Windows 98 (Second Edition), Windows ME, Windows 2000 and Windows XP. 1. The Connection Software No longer Operates Correctly 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. 2. The power indicator is on but the display does not illuminate 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.) b) Plug the Wireless Broadband Modem into another wall socket to check the power. 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. 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.
P1D Wireless Broadband Modem User Manual - Page 22 of 46 - 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. 4. 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. 5. The Modem indicators on the top panel are not showing the expected display information 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. 6. The Modem disconnects unexpectedly 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. 7. The Modem speed is not fast enough There are several conditions that can result in slower access speed that are not related to your P1D Modem‟s performance: 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.

P1D Wireless Broadband Modem User Manual - Page 26 of 46 - 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. 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.
