Power: Power LED will remain lit while power is applied.
Signal strength: Indicate receive signal strength.
The Signal Strength LEDs are only used at the
power on to assist the installation.
The CPE will turn off all the Signal Strength LEDs after a
timer expires from power on. Such design is to prevent
the outdoor CPE becoming a potential target particularly
at night. The default time is 60 minutes however,
is user settable in the web GUI.
Mount base: Attach the mounting bracket.
Earth ground terminal: It is necessary to
connect a grounding wire to protect the CPE
from ESD (electrostatic discharges) and lightning.
Ethernet port: Connect to a computer using an
Ethernet cable.
Reset button: Short press to
restart the device. Long press for
for 10 seconds to reset the settings
to the factory default settings.

Important Installation Considerations
Before installing the outdoor CPE, consider the appropriate location,
clearance, and device orientation.
Location and Cable wiring
Consult your Service Provider to find the best location and angle for
getting the strongest signal from the base station.
Mount the CPE at the highest possible location with a clear view of the
base station signal source. Buildings or other obstructions will affect the
quality of the signal you receive.
Keep the best distance as possible from other devices that may cause
interference.
Check if you can route the cable through the available ventilation holes
to avoid unnecessary drilling and waterproofing the wall.
Disconnect the power cord first before mounting the CPE.
Otherwise this may result in personal injury due to electric shock.
Mounting
Choose a solid wall/ground to mount the CPE.
Mount on a wall/pole that can sustain the CPE dimensions and weight.
Mount upright on a vertical surface.
Appendix 2.
Do a walking test around the house to find the best spot with the
strongest signal if you don’t obtain related information from your
Service Provider.

Warning:
To receive stronger signal, please do NOT
place your head or body in front of the
CPE while you are positioning the CPE
or checking the signal strength LEDs on
the front panel.
Position Adjustment
The CPE must be directed towards the nearest base station. By pointing
the CPE in the proper direction ensures that you receive the strongest
signal.
Fine tune the signal by
adjusting the orientation
horizontally or vertically to
increase the CPE signal
strength.
To verify the signal strength level:
Check the LEDs on the front panel - increasing lighted LEDs indicates
stronger signal.
Access the web management and go to Status > Mobile Network >
Information to view the Rx Signal Strength.
