• Plan your installation location – your device should be:
– Within three feet of a window to receive a GPS signal for 911 purposes.
– At least one foot from other wireless broadcasting devices to avoid possible interference.
– Where you can connect your MicroCell to your Internet equipment.
• Plan on 10-15 minutes for equipment setup and online activation. Your device will then need
up to an additional 90 minutes for final device activation, which requires no effort on your part.
• You will need your AT&T wireless phone number/user name or AT&T Access ID, as well as your
password for online activation. If you haven’t set up an AT&T online wireless account, you can
do so while activating your MicroCell online.

Connect your device to the Internet
Connect the yellow Ethernet cable from the
“Ethernet” port on your MicroCell to your router.
