This section contains important information about the operation of your device. It also contains
information about how to use the device safely. Read this information carefully before using your
device.
Electronic device
Do not use the device if doing so causes danger or interference with other electronic devices.
Interference with medical equipment
•Follow any rules and regulations set forth by hospitals and health care facilities. Do not
use your device where prohibited.
•Some wireless devices may affect the performance of hearing aids or pacemakers.
Consult your service provider for more information.
•Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum distance of 15cm shall be
maintained between a device and a pacemaker to prevent potential interference with the
pacemaker. If using a pacemaker, hold the device on the side opposite the pacemaker if
required to hold and do not carry the device in your front pocket.
Areas with flammables and explosives
•Do not use the device where flammables or explosives are stored (in a gas station, oil
depot or chemical plant). Using your device in these environments increases the risk of
explosion or fire. In addition, follow the instructions indicated in text or symbols.
•Do not store or transport the device in containers with flammable liquids, gases or
explosives.
Operating environment

these environments may result in circuit malfunctions.
•Before connecting and disconnecting cables, stop using the device and disconnect it from
the power supply. Ensure that your hands are dry during operation.
•Place the device on a stable surface.
•Keep the device away from electronic appliances that generate strong magnetic or
electric fields, such as a microwave oven or refrigerator.
•During thunderstorms, power off your device and remove all cables connected to it to
protect against power surges due to lightning strikes.
•Ideal operating temperatures are 0°C to +40°C. Ideal storage temperatures are -20°C to
+70°C. Extreme heat or cold may damage your device or accessories.
•Keep the device and accessories in a well-ventilated, cool area away from direct sunlight.
Do not enclose or cover your device with towels or other objects.
•Do not place the device in a container with poor heat dissipation, such as a box or bag.
•To protect your device or accessories from fire or electrical shock hazards, avoid rain and
moisture.
•Keep the device away from sources of heat and fire, such as a heater, microwave oven,
stove, water heater, radiator or candle.
•Do not place any object, such as a candle or a water container on the device. If any
foreign object or liquid enters the device, immediately stop using it, power it off and
remove all cables connected to it.
•Do not block device openings. Reserve a minimum space of 10cm around the device to
dissipate heat.
•Stop using your device or applications for a while if the device is overheated. If skin is
exposed to an overheated device for an extended period, low temperature burn
symptoms, such as red spots and darker pigmentation, may occur.

or its accessories may be dangerous. The device includes detachable parts that may
present a choking hazard. Keep away from children.
•The device and its accessories are not intended for use by children. Children should only
use the device with adult supervision.
Power adapter safety
•The power plug is intended to serve as a disconnect device.
•For pluggable devices, the socket-outlet shall be installed near the devices and shall be
easily accessible.
•Unplug the power adapter from electrical outlets and the device when not in use.
•Do not drop or cause an impact to the power adapter.
•If the power cable is damaged (for example, the cord is exposed or broken) or the plug
loosens, stop using it at once. Continued use may lead to electric shocks, short circuits or
fire.
•Do not touch the power cord with wet hands or pull the power cord to disconnect the
power adapter.
•Do not touch the device or the power adapter with wet hands. Doing so may lead to short
circuits, malfunctions or electric shocks.

Operation
Setting up a Wi-Fi connection
Important: Make sure your client (computer, tablet or smart phone) also supports Wi-Fi.
Step 1: Enable Wi-Fi on the device
When the Wi-Fi indicator light is steady, the Wi-Fi function of the device is turned on.
Step 2: Recording the SSID and Wi-Fi key
The default SSID and Wi-Fi key are printed on the device's bottom label.
Important: To prevent unauthorised parties from accessing your Wi-Fi network, it is recommended
that you change the SSID and Wi-Fi key from time to time.
Step 3: Setting up a Wi-Fi connection on your client
Method 1: Setting up a Wi-Fi connection manually
1. From your Wi-Fi enabled client, scan for wireless networks in your area.
2. Connect to the network name that matches the SSID found on the device label.
3. When prompted for password, enter the Wi-Fi Key found on the device label (Wi-Fi key is
case sensitive). Your client will notify you when it is connected.
Method 2: Setting up a Wi-Fi connection through WPS
If the client supports WPS, you can set up a WPS connection as follows:
1. Ensure that Wi-Fi is enabled on the client.
2. Press the WPS button on the modem for 2 seconds.
3. Activate the WPS connection on the client in 2 minutes.
Configuring your device
1. After a client is connected to the device through Wi-Fi or LAN port, launch a browser on the
client and visit http://192.168.1.1.
2. Enter the username and password to log in to the web management page. The default
username and password are printed on the device's bottom label.
3. Follow the quick setup wizard to check or set network connection parameters step by step.
To protect your account, change the password after your first login.
If you modify the SSID and Wi-Fi key, you must set up the Wi-Fi connection on the client again as it
will likely automatically disconnect due to the saved login details not matching the new details on
the unit.
Once you are done, try opening a web page on the client to verify whether you have Internet access.

from collisions.
•Keep the device and accessories dry. Do not attempt to dry it with an external heat
source, such as a microwave oven or hair dryer.
•Do not expose your device or accessories to extreme heat or cold. These environments
may interfere with proper function and may lead to fire or explosion.
•Avoid collisions, which may lead to device malfunctions, overheating, fire or explosion.
•If the device is not going to be used for an extended period, power it off and remove all
cables connected to it.
•If anything unusual occurs (for example, if the device emits smoke or any unusual sound
or smell), immediately stop using it, power it off, remove all cables connected to it and
contact Kogan.com Support.
•Do not trample, pull or excessively bend any cable. Doing so may damage the cable,
causing the device to malfunction.
•Before you clean or maintain the device, stop using it, stop all applications and
disconnect all cables connected to it.
