Set up the Modem
Place the Modem on a Flat, Stable Surface
Rotate the foot of the Modem and place it upright on a flat, stable surface.
Do not place the Modem on its side or block the top air vents. The preferred location is near a
window and away from obstructions.
Plug in the Cables
1) Plug one end of the Ethernet Cable into the ethernet port on your computer and plug the other end
into the Modem.
2) Plug one end of the Power Adapter into the AC Power Port on the Modem and plug the other end
into a power outlet.

5
Set up the Modem (continued)
Connect to CLEAR 4G
After you’ve plugged in the cables, the Modem automatically will search for a CLEAR 4G signal.
It’s best to position the Modem near an outside wall or window, and away from microwaves, cordless
phones, wireless routers, and stereo speakers.
If at least two LED lights are not lit, try moving the Modem to another room.
As the Modem is searching for the
CLEAR 4G signal, five LED lights,
located on the front of the Modem, will
blink sequentially and then in unison.
When the Modem is connected to the
CLEAR 4G signal, the LED lights will
stop blinking and remain lit.
Note: The number of lights indicates the
CLEAR 4G signal strength. For optimal
signal strength, you should try different
locations for the Modem in order to
ensure a minimum of two lights are lit.
Move the Modem (not your computer) to another room,
and wait 15 – 20 seconds after the LED lights are solid
green, in order to obtain the most accurate reading of
the CLEAR 4G signal.
To optimize the signal strength in the Modem’s current
location, try turning the Modem by small ¼”
increments.
When you find the strongest CLEAR 4G signal,
reconnect the Modem to your computer.
 If, for some reason, the room with the strongest
CLEAR 4G signal is not where you want to put the
Modem, consider using a longer Ethernet Cable or
ordering a wireless router by logging in to your CLEAR
online account.
