Reset Button
After powering up the router, press the RST button by a small non-conductive stick with a blunt
end in about 60 seconds until all three LEDs (RUN, PPP, USR) on the left side blinking 5 times
simultaneously. Then the router will be restored to factory default settings.
Hardware Installation Steps
Step 1: After opening the package, refer to right side figure
to remove the cover, loosen the screws associated
with the cover by using a screwdriver and then find
the SIM card slot. To insert SIM card, press the card
with fingers until snap on and then tighten the
screws associated with the cover by using a
screwdriver.
Note: In order to protect the slot and SIM card,
make sure the router is power off before inserting
or removing the SIM card.
Step 2: Connect the SMA external antenna connector to the
router’s antenna interface and twist tightly. Make
sure the antenna is within the correct frequency
range.
Note: Recommended torque for mounting is 0.35 N.m

Step 3: Connect the router to the site ground wire by the ground screw before powering on.
Router grounding helps prevent the noise effect due to electromagnetic interference
(EMI).
Step 4: Connect the router’s Ethernet port to a PC through a standard crossed network cable.
Step 5: R3000 Lite router supports for horizontal surface placement, DIN rail mounting and wall
mounting. For details refer to next figure.
Step 6: Use the power adapter to power on the router. R3000 Lite router supports reverse
polarity protection, but always connects to the power adapter correctly. There are two
cables associated with the power adapter. Following to the color of the head, connect
the cable marked red to the positive pole through a terminal block, and connect the
yellow one to the negative in the same way. The last step is to plug in and power on.
Two methods for mounting the router
Wall mounting
Wall mounting kit size (unit: mm)
Use 3 pcs of M3*4 countersunk phillips screws to fix the router on the wall mounting kit,
and then use 2 pcs of M3 drywall screws to mount the router associated with the wall
mounting kit on the wall.
Note: Recommended torque for mounting is 1.0 N.m, and the maximum allowed is 1.2 N.m.
DIN rail mounting
DIN rail size (unit: mm)
Use 3 pcs of M3*4 countersunk phillips screws to fix the router on the DIN rail, and then
hang the DIN rail on the bracket. It is necessary to choose the standard bracket.
Note: Recommended torque for mounting is 1.0 N.m, and the maximum allowed is 1.2 N.m.
