the right direction before you insert it.
Next to the SIM card slot and also on the inside of the battery back cover you’ll find two
sets of numbers marked ‘SSID’ and ‘Wi-Fi Key’. Make a note of the network key, as you’ll
need it when you set up a Wi-Fi connection.
Then insert the battery as shown and re-attach the back cover.

Charging the Battery
Note: If the battery has not been used for a long
time, it must be charged first.
Method 1: Using the charger
Caution:
Only use chargers compatible with the Mobile WiFi and provided by a designated
manufacturer. Use of an incompatible charger or one from an unknown manufacturer
may cause the Mobile WiFi to malfunction, fail, or could even cause a fire. Such use
voids all warranties, whether expressed or implied, on the product.
The charger is an optional accessory. If the charger is not
provided in the package, you can contact your
local dealer to buy one yourself.
Method 2: Connecting to a PC for charging

internet. There are two options:
Connect automatically: every time you switch the hotspot on, it will automatically
connect to the internet.

Connect manually: you will need to visit the web address listed above and follow the
simple instructions to connect or disconnect your hotspot from the internet.
If you’re not sure how much data you will be using, we’d recommend choosing the
