SETUP
Before using your Turbo Hub, please ensure you have the following:
• A Bell Turbo Hub Flex Plan
• Your Mobile Directory Number (MDN) or phone number
If you don’t have an account or a Turbo Hub Flex Plan or number, get
set up by speaking with a Bell account representative at 1-888-4MOBILE
(1-888-466-2453).
Choosing a location for your Turbo Hub
Always select an indoor location, preferably close to a window but avoiding
direct sunlight. A window location generally will give the best conditions for
accessing the Internet.
For best results, place the Turbo Hub away from microwave ovens and other
transmitters (e.g. security/alarm systems) as they can cause signal interference.
Using the stand provided, you can position your Turbo Hub upright by inserting
the tabs of the stand into the slot on the bottom of the Hub.

Inserting your Bell SIM card
Before turning the device on, follow the steps below:
1. Locate the SIM card slot on the back of the device.
2. Gently insert your Bell SIM card into the SIM card slot.
3. Ensure that the SIM card is inserted into the Turbo Hub with its bevelled
edge facing up, as illustrated. You should hear a “click” sound when the
SIM card has been inserted properly.
Note: You must use the SIM card you received with the Turbo Hub. SIM cards
from other devices will not function in the Turbo Hub. Similarly, the SIM
card provided with the Turbo Hub will not function in other devices.
