TroubleshootingProblem Suggested SolutionCannot establish the Wi-Fi connection between your device and clientRefresh network list and select the correct SSID.Check the IP address to make sure your client can obtain an IP address automatically in the Internet protocol (TCP/IP) properties.Type the correct network key (Wi-Fi password) when you connect to the device.The client connected to the device cannot access the Internet.Make sure your SIM card is available.Change the location to find a place with good signal.Contact your service provider.Cannot visit the web user interface configuration pageEnter the correct address. The default address is http://192.168.0.1 or  http://att.hotspot.Only use one network adapter in your PC.Do not use any proxy server.Problem Suggested SolutionAbout the passwordSelect Wi-Fi on the home screen to check the Main/Guest Wi-Fi Network password or check the label on the device to get them.If you changed the password and forgot the new password, you need to restore the device to the factory default settings.Troubleshooting 49Troubleshooting48

The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg. *Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the device while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the device is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the poser Regulatory and Safety Information52
Regulatory and Safety Informationrequired to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.The highest SAR value for the device as reported to the FCC when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 1.0   W/kg (Body-worn measurements differamong device models, depending upon available enhancements and FCC requirements.)While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various devices and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement.The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this device is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of  http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/  aft er s ear   ching on:FCC ID: SRQ-MF923SAR compliance for body operation is based on a separation distance of 10 mm between the unit and the human body. Carry this device, at least 10 mm away from your body to ensure RF exposure level compliant or lower to the reported level.FCC ComplianceThis 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.55Caution: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate thequipment.Note: 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:・   neiroeR  t or relocate the receiving antenna.・   rcnI  ease 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.CTIA Requirements)a     Do not disassemble or open crush, bend or deform, puncture or shred Regulatory and Safety Information548
