Overview

When used properly, your Jetpack is a highly reliable product. Most problems can be attributed

to one of the following issues:

• System resources required by your Jetpack are being used by other devices.

• Network coverage is unavailable due to the coverage area, account problems, or a network

problem.

The following tips can help solve many common problems encountered while using the Jetpack.

First Steps

1 Make sure you are using your Jetpack in the correct geographic region (within coverage).

2 Ensure that your wireless coverage extends to your current location by using the interactive

Verizon coverage map tool.

3 Ensure that you have an active service plan.

4 Restarting your computer and your Jetpack can resolve many issues.

IMPORTANT! Before contacting Verizon Customer Care, be sure to restart both your Jetpack

and any device that is currently connected.

Common Problems and Solutions

My Jetpack just powered off without pressing the Power/Menu button. Why?

This may occur under any of the following circumstances:

• Your Jetpack will automatically turn off after a certain period to save battery if there are no

connected devices and if you set Automatic Shutdown on from my Jetpack Home page.

This can be changed fromhttp://my.jetpack> Jetpack Settings > Preferences >

Automatic Shutdown.

• Switching profiles.

• Battery depletion.

To restore power, manually press and hold the Power/Menu button to turn on your Jetpack. If

the battery is depleted, charge the battery with the AC charger provided.

IMPORTANT! If the power button will not start your Jetpack, please try Power Reset (see How

do I perform a Power Reset on my Jetpack? below) before contacting Verizon Customer

Care.

What is the difference between a Power Reset and a Factory Reset?

Power Reset simply resets (or, restarts) your Jetpack and keeps all your personal settings.

Factory reset restores your Jetpack to the factory default settings. Any personal settings made

before will be restored to the factory default settings.

How do I perform a Power Reset on my Jetpack?

Using the power button: Press and hold the power button for 10 seconds until the Jetpack

restarts.

By replacing battery: If pressing and holding the power button for 10 seconds does not restart

the Jetpack, open the battery cover, take out the battery and re-install the battery after 5

seconds. Put the battery cover back and turn on the Jetpack by pressing the power button.

How do I perform a Factory Reset?

Using the factory reset button: Remove the back cover. Make sure the battery is installed and

your Jetpack is on. Place one end of a small, unfolded paper clip into the factory reset button.

Press down until the Jetpack automatically restarts.

Using my Jetpack home page: Connect to your Jetpack and then open my Jetpack home

page (http://my.jetpack, or, http://192.168.1.1). Select Jetpack Settings>Factory Reset.

I cannot connect to Wi-Fi after changing Wi-Fi password.

Your Wi-Fi devices save the previously used Wi-Fi names associated with the passwords used

to access the Wi-Fi name. When you change the Wi-Fi password only for your Jetpack and

keep the same Wi-Fi Name, the devices try to connect to your Jetpack using the Wi-Fi name

and previous Wi-Fi password saved, causing Wi-Fi authentication error. Devices vary how to

delete (forget) old Wi-Fi credentials. Refer to your device manual how to delete (forget) old Wi-

Fi credentials.

I cannot access the http://my.jetpack .

Ensure that Wi-Fi connection is enabled on your device and that you have selected the correct

Wi-Fi name (SSID) for your Jetpack connection. Also, make certain that you are entering the

correct full URL address as http://my.jetpack. If this URL address does not work, try the IP

address http://192.168.1.1.

I cannot Sign In to http://my.jetpack.

Ensure that you are entering the correct Admin Password to Sign in. The default Admin

Password is the same as the default Wi-Fi Password unless you have previously changed the

Admin Password from My Jetpack Home page. If you have forgotten your password, click on

the “Forgot the Admin Password?” link and you will be prompted to answer the security

question that you selected when you changed the Admin Password.

Regulatory Statements

FCC Equipment Authorization ID: XHG-R900

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.

SAR Information

The exposure standard for your device uses a unit of measurement called the Specific

Absorption Rate (“SAR”).

SAR is the unit of measurement for the amount of RF energy absorbed by the body when using

a mobile device. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual

SAR value of the device while in operation can be well below the level reported to the FCC.

This is due to a variety of factors including its proximity to a base station, the design of the

device and other factors. What is important to remember is that each device meets strict

Federal Government guidelines. Variations in SARs do not represent a variation in safety. All

devices must meet the federal standard, which incorporates a substantial margin of safety. SAR

values at or below the federal standard of 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) are considered safe for use by

the public. This product meets current FCC Radio Frequency Exposure Guidelines. The

reported SAR value of the device is – X.XXW/kg.

Additional details at FCC website:

www.fcc.gov/oet/ea

Body-Worn Operation

Please note this important safety information regarding radio frequency (RF) radiation exposure

and near-body operation. To ensure compliance with RF exposure guidelines, the device must

be used at least 5 mm from your body. Failure to observe this warning could result in RF

exposure exceeding the applicable guideline limits.

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.

FCC CAUTION: Any changes or modification not expressly approved by the party responsible

for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.

NOTE: The Radio Frequency (RF) emitter installed in your modem must not be located or

operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter, unless specifically authorized by

Franklin Wireless.

Safety Hazards

Follow Safety Guidelines

Always follow the applicable rules and regulations in the area in which you are using your

device. Turn your device off in areas where its use is not allowed or when its use may cause

interference or other problems.

Electronic Devices

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio frequency (RF) signals. However,

inadequately shielded electronic equipment may be affected by the RF signals generated by

your device.

Medical and Life Support Equipment

Do not use your device in healthcare facilities or where medical life support equipment is

located as such equipment could be affected by your device’s external RF signals.

Pacemakers

• The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation

of six inches must be maintained between a device and a pacemaker in order to avoid

potential interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with

the independent research by and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.

Persons with pacemakers should always follow these guidelines:

• Always keep the device at least six inches away from a pacemaker when the device is

turned on.

• Place your device on the opposite side of your body where your pacemaker is implanted

in order to add extra distance between the pacemaker and your device.

• Avoid placing a device that is on next to a pacemaker (e.g., do not carry your device in a

shirt or jacket pocket that is located directly over the pacemaker).

• If you are concerned or suspect for any reason that interference is taking place with

your pacemaker, turn your device OFF immediately.

Hearing Devices

When some wireless devices are used with certain hearing devices (including hearing aids and

cochlear implants) users may detect a noise which may interfere with the effectiveness of the

hearing device.

Use of Your Device while Operating a Vehicle

Please consult the manufacturer of any electronic equipment that has been installed in your

vehicle as RF signals may affect electronic systems in motor vehicles.

Please do not operate your device while driving a vehicle. This may cause severe distraction

and in some areas, it is against the law.

Use of Your Device on an Aircraft

Using your device during flight may violate FCC regulations. Because your device may interfere

with on-board electronic equipment, always follow the instructions of the airline personnel and

turn your device OFF when instructed to do so.

Blasting Areas

In order to avoid interfering with blasting operations, your device should be turned OFF when in

a blasting area or in an area with posted signs indicating that people in the area must turn off

two-way radios. Please obey all signs and instructions when you are in and around a blasting

area.
