Quick Start Attach the External WiFi Antennas For the best WiFi performance, attach both antennas. 3. Slide the antenna covers on the bottom of the mobile hotspot to the open position. 4. Dock the mobile hotspot in the Smart Cradle. 1. Align the antennas with the antenna posts on the cradle. AirCard® Smart Cradle Model DC112A The AirCard Smart Cradle allows you to transform your AirCard mobile hotspot into a powerful LTE router by combining the benefits of a home router and a Wi-Fi signal booster. It charges your mobile hotspot battery, boosts its 4G/3G signal, extends WiFi coverage, and expands your mobile hotspot connection to both wired and wireless devices. This cradle can also be used as a standalone 802.11ac Dual-Band WiFi router. Package Contents 2. Attach the antennas on the threaded antenna posts, ensuring that the connection is secure. 3. Adjust the antenna positions so that they point straight up. Install the AirCard Smart Cradle 1. Place the Smart Cradle in your preferred location. 2. Connect the cradle’s power adapter and plug it into an electrical outlet. External WiFi antennas (2) Power On/Off button Power input AirCard Smart Cradle Power adapter (appearance varies by region or country) The Power LED lights green within one minute. If the Power LED does not light, press the Power On/Off button on the rear panel of the cradle. 5. Check the Smart Cradle’s Internet LED The Smart Cradle detects your mobile hotspot’s Internet connection, the Internet LED lights green, and the cradle uses the mobile hotspot’s Internet connection. The mobile hotspot must have active Internet service. When your mobile hotspot detects that it is docked, the mobile hotspot LCD and home page indicate that it is docked in the cradle. The mobile hotspot uses the cradle’s more powerful 3G/4G antennas for better network coverage and charges itself through the cradle. The mobile hotspot disables its WiFi signal so that you can connect to the Smart Cradle’s stronger WiFi signal. NOTE: Some mobile hotspots require a firmware update before they automatically disable WiFi when docked. If your mobile hotspot broadcasts its WiFi signal when docked, manually set up your mobile hotspot to disable WiFi. See the mobile hotspot user guide for more information. 6. On your computer or WiFi device, find and connect to the WiFi network name on the cradle label. Log In to the AirCard Smart Cradle Front Panel LEDs You can log in to the Smart Cradle to view or change its settings. LED Description 1.

Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. 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 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. FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment. This transmitter must not be co‐located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. For operation within 5.15 ~ 5.25GHz frequency range, it is restricted to indoor environment. This device meets all the other requirements specified in Part 15E, Section 15.407 of the FCC Rules. Radiation Exposure Statement: To comply with FCC RF Exposure Limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment, the product must be installed and operated with a minimum separation distance (between nearby person(s) and radiating antenna) according to the following scenarios: 1. 20cm minimum when the product is operated alone without co‐transmitting with a plug‐in mobile hotspot device. 2. 48cm minimum when the product is operated with a plug‐in mobile hotspot device which has maximum output power in each certificate license band. 3. For co‐transmission scenario which is not covered above, please consult the RF technician or device supplier. Industry Canada statement: This device complies with ISED’s licence‐exempt RSSs.
