1. About this Manual
The content of this User Manual has been made as accurate as possible.
However, due to continual product improvements, specifications and other
information are subject to change without notice.
2. Product Overview
This MiFi supports LTE Band 2/4/5/12/17 (Subject to the configuration of LTE
module) and it supports popular operating systems like Windows, Linux and
Mac.
Please refer to the Quick Start Guide that is part of the MiFi supply. Once you
have identified the place for MiFi insert USIM card supplied by your service
provider at the appropriate place, plug in the adapter in the AC socket and DC in
the power port of MiFi. Switch on the power Off/On switch and after few minutes
the MiFi should attach itself to the LTE network. It is as simple as that. It is
advised to read this manual at leisure to make best use of the MiFi.

INTERFERENCE, AND (2) THIS DEVICE MUST ACCEPT ANY INTERFERENCE
RECEIVED, INCLUDING INTERFERENCE THAT MAY CAUSE UNDESIRED OPERATION.
Operation is subject to the condition that this device does not cause harmful interference.
Caution: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the
user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses
and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of
the following measures:
—Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
—Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
—Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
—Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/ TV technician for help.
Health and safety information
Radio Frequency (RF) Energy
This model Mifi meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio waves.
This Mifi is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio
frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government:
The exposure standard for Mifi employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption
Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg. Tests for SAR are conducted using
standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the Mifi transmitting at its highest certified
power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest
certified power level, the actual SAR level of the Mifi while operating can be well below the
maximum value. This is because the Mifi is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to
06/16/14
33
use only the poser required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base
station antenna, the lower the power output.
The highest SAR value for the model Mifi as reported to the FCC when worn on the body, as
described in this user guide, is 1.45 W/kg (Body-worn measurements differ among Mifi models,
depending upon available enhancements and FCC requirements).
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various Mifis and at various positions,
they all meet the government requirement.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model Mifi with all reported SAR
levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on
this model Mifi is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on
FCC ID: PKRNVWM100
For body worn operation, this Mifi has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines for
use with an accessory that contains no metal and the positions the handset a minimum of 10 mm
from the body. Use of other enhancements may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure
guidelines. If you do not use a body-worn accessory and are not holding the Mifi at the ear,
position the handset a minimum of 10 mm from your body when the Mifi is switched on.
