Preparation
The WiFi On-the-Go is a portable device but can be fastened to a mounting
surface if desired. If the external cellular antenna is not a permanent mount
there are a number of methods of temporary mounting that can be utilized
at the retail customer’s discretion, i.e. hook and loop material, two sided tape,
etc. Use the method best suited for the temporary mounting surface.
If the external cellular antenna is not permanently attached with all weather
sealant, the antenna should not be exposed to water.
The 12V DC/DC power adapter (Fig.1F) can be used to ensure a smooth
power supply to the cellular router when connected to various 12V batteries
or systems such as vehicle, solar power bank, etc. The user will need
to determine which connection type they will need to add to the red/black
wires, such as a cigarette lighter adapter or banana clips, to suit their
specic application.
For immediate use of WiFi On-the-Go™:
1. Attach the two, 4.0G cellular antennae (Fig.1E) to the corresponding
ports of the cellular gateway (Fig.1G).
2. Attach the two 2.4GHz WiFi antennae (Fig.1D) to the corresponding
ports of the cellular gateway.
3. Plug the 120V AC/DC (Fig.1F) or 12V DC/DC (Fig.1H) adapter’s
power supply barrel connector into the back of the cellular gateway.
4. Plug the 120V AC/DC adapter into a wall outlet or connect the red
and black wires of the 12V DC/DC adapter to a 12V power source.
5. See Activation and Operation sections to complete the process.
Activation
Before visiting AT&T® or T-Mobile®, make sure to have the IMEI
(International Mobile Equipment Identity) number available.
The IMEI number is printed on the WiFi On-the-Go™ label (Fig.2A).
The IMEI number is a unique 15-digit serial number given to every
device which can then be used to check information such as the device’s
Country of Origin, the Manufacturer and its Model Number.
Whether currently an AT&T® or T-Mobile® Wireless customer or not,
contact AT&T® or T-Mobile® customer service or visit the nearest AT&T®
or T-Mobile® Wireless corporate store to purchase a nano SIM card.
