NOTE ON WINDOW CLEANING
The UScellular Outdoor Receiver features a reusable adhesive on the
mounting bracket. When mounting it on glass, be sure to clean and dry the
mounting area on the glass thoroughly to ensure a strong bond.
Failure to clean the glass properly can cause the adhesive to become dirty,
resulting in the bond between the device and glass not being as strong as it
could be, eventually leading to the device detaching from the window.

LED INDICATORS
By default, the LED indicators remain on at all times. You can change this
in the app so that they turn o after 30 minutes of operation if there are no
errors to display.
In this mode, the LEDs automatically wake if an error occurs and remain
on until the error is resolved.

Your UScellular®Outdoor Receiver checks daily for software updates and
applies them automatically.
Updates are infrequent and generally applied in o-peak usage periods.
