Charging the Battery
The Minstrel S contains a rechargeable Lithium-ion battery. This battery is shipped only partially
charged, so it is necessary to charge the battery to its full capacity before using the unit.
To charge the battery, plug the AC adapter (supplied) into an outlet and insert the barrel connector
into the DC jack found on the top of the Minstrel.
It will take approximately 3 hours to charge the battery from a zero charge state. With sleep mode
enabled, the battery will provide power to the unit for many hours of web browsing.
Battery LED
When the Battery LED is flashing red, this indicates that the battery is low and requires charging.
For more information about the Battery LED, refer to Status Indicator LEDs in the Overview of the
Minstrel S Modem section.
NOTE: If the battery charge goes lower than a pre-set threshold, the modem will automatically
disconnect from the network and power off in order to preserve the settings in its internal
memory.

list for you to select the network provider you would like to use.
For information on service availability, contact a network provider in your area. To enter the network provider you have chosen, click on the pick list to view the entries.
A list of available network providers opens.

Contact a Provider
The next step in setting up your Minstrel S is contacting your chosen network provider to set up a
Wireless IP service account. The network provider you selected previously and the EID of your
Minstrel S are shown on the Contact a Provider screen.
To set up a Wireless IP service account, contact the provider you have chosen using the phone
number shown after the provider’s name in the NP: field. Record the EID of your Minstrel S as you
will have to provide the EID to the network provider when setting up the account.
Once your provider has given you an IP address and DNS addresses, you can advance to the next
step by tapping the Next>> button.

Auto Config
The Auto Config screen confirms that your Minstrel S has been configured.
The next step in configuration is testing the network registration. Because it may take some time
for your network provider to activate your Wireless IP account, you may need to wait before
advancing to the next step. Your network provider will tell you how long it will take when you set up
your account. If you know your account has already been activated, tap the Don’t Wait button to
move to the next step.
