3 Wireless communications IMPORTANT Notice Due to the transmission and reception properties of wireless communications, data can occasionally be lost or delayed. This can be due to the variation in radio signal strength that results from changes in the characteristics of the radio transmission path. Although data loss is rare, the environment where you operate the MC550 Modem may adversely affect communications. Variations in radio signal strength are referred to as fading. Fading is caused by several different factors including signal reflection, the ionosphere, and interference from other radio channels. Verizon Wireless or its partners will not be held responsible for damages of any kind resulting from the delays or errors in data transmitted or received with the MC550 Modem device, or failure of the MC550 Modem device to transmit or receive such data. 1-2#34$"-5-6*7$Do not operate the MC550 Modem device in an environment that may be susceptible to radio interference resulting in danger specifically; Areas where prohibited by the law o Follow any special rules and regulations and obey all signs and notices. Always turn off the host device and remove the modem from the USB port when instructed to do so, or when you suspect that it may cause interference or danger. Where explosive atmospheres may be present o Do not operate the MC550 Modem in any area where a potentially explosive atmosphere may exist. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. Be aware and comply with all signs and instructions. o Users are advised not to operate the MC550 Modem while at a refueling point or service station. Users are reminded to observe restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots (fuel storage and distribution areas), chemical plants or where blasting operations are in progress. o Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often but not always clearly marked. Potential locations can include gas stations, below deck on boats, chemical transfer or storage facilities, vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane), areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust or metal powders, and any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
4 Near Medical and life support equipment o Do not operate the MC550 Modem in any area where medical equipment, life support equipment, or near any equipment that may be susceptible to any form of radio interference. In such areas, the host communications device must be turned off. The MC550 Modem may transmit signals that could interfere with this equipment. On an aircraft, either on the ground or airborne o In addition to FAA requirements, many airline regulations state that you must suspend wireless operations before boarding an airplane. Please ensure that the host device is turned off and the MC550 Modem is removed from the USB port prior to boarding aircraft in order to comply with these regulations. The MC550 Modem can transmit signals that could interfere with various onboard systems and controls. While operating a vehicle o The driver or operator of any vehicle should not operate a wireless data device while in control of a vehicle. Doing so will detract from the driver or operator's control and operation of that vehicle. In some countries, operating such communications devices while in control of a vehicle is an offense. 89+93-39):$)2$;9-<9;934$The information contained in this document is subject to change without notice and should not be construed as a commitment by Verizon Wireless Inc. &)=4690"3$©2008 Verizon Wireless, Inc. ,-3#:37$-:*$;9.#:7#7$Licensed by QUALCOMM Incorporated under one or more of the following Patents: 4,901,307 5,490,165 5,056,109 5,504,773 5,101,501 5,506,865 5,109,390 5,511,073 5,228,054 5,535,239 5,267,261 5,544,196 5,267,262 5,568,483 5,337,338 5,600,754 5,414,796 5,657,420 5,416,797 5,659,569 5,710,784 5,778,338 Software Drivers License Proprietary Rights Provisions: The software drivers provided with this product are copyrighted by Verizon Wireless and/or Verizon Wireless’ suppliers.

34 Changing to a Different Profile To use a different profile: 1. Select the desired profile in the “Selected Profile” list. 2. Wait for the screen to update with the Wi-Fi settings for the selected profile. 3. Click the “Apply” button to cause the MC550 Modem to use the selected profile. • Changing the WI-FI profile will terminate all Wi-Fi connections to the MC550 Modem, including the connection to the Web-based UI. • You must re-connect to the MC550 Modem using the Wi-Fi settings of the new profile. Ensure you know what these settings are – check the Wi-Fi screen if uncertain. Updating the Current Profile When the screen is first loaded, the “Current Profile” and the “Selected Profile” are the same. To update the Current Profile: 1. Modify the displayed Wi-Fi settings 2. Click the “Apply” button. If you update the Current Profile, the existing connection will be lost. The effect will depend on which Wi-Fi settings you have changed: - If the network name (SSID) is changed, you will need to use the Wi-Fi manager on your PC to reconnect. - If the security method or network key is changed, you will need to use the Wi-Fi manager on your PC to reconnect. - For other changes, your PC should reconnect automatically after a short interval after the AP (Access Point) in the MC550 Modem restarts.
35 Updating other Profiles You can also update a profile which is not in use. This will have no effect on the existing Wi-Fi connection from your PC to the MC550 Modem. 1. Change the Selected Profile to the Profile you wish to change. 2. Wait for the screen to update with the Wi-Fi settings for the selected profile. 3. Change the settings are desired. Note that for the “Temporary Hotspot” profile, these settings can not be changed directly. For this Profile, you can only click “Generate” to generate new values for the network name (SSID) and security key. 4. Click the “Update” button to save your changes. Alternatively, click the “Apply” button to both update this profile and start using it (make it the current profile). Wi-Fi Settings Each Wi-Fi Profile contains the following settings. For the “Temporary Hotspot” profile, these settings cannot be changed directly. - SSID - The SSID or Network Name of the Selected Profile. Note that each profile must have a different SSID to avoid confusing wireless clients. - 802.11 Mode - Select the desired mode. - Channel - The default value is "Auto". Using this setting, the best available channel will be automatically selected.
