Caring for Your Device
Like any electronic device, the MiFi 4510L must be handled with care to ensure reliable operation.
Verizon Wireless recommends the following guidelines:
•Protect the device from liquids, dust, and excessive temperatures.
•Do not apply adhesive labels to the device; they might cause the device to potentially
overheat or alter the performance of the antenna.
•Use only batteries, chargers and accessories with your device that have been approved by
Verizon Wireless. The failure to use approved batteries, chargers and accessories may increase
the risk that your device will overheat, catch re, or explode, resulting in serious bodily injury,
death, or property damage, and may void the product warranty.
•Store the device in a safe place when not in use.

Accessing the Network
4G LTE
With LTE bandwidth (700 MHz) you can get the broadband-like speed you require to work eciently
outside the home or oce. You can connect to the Internet, access your corporate intranet, check
your email and download attachments at speeds that are up to 10 times faster than 3G.
4G Mobile Broadband with LTE*
•Download: typical download speeds of 100 DL/50 UL.
•Upload: typical upload speeds of 100 DL/50 UL.
3G Mobile Broadband with EVDO Rev. A**
•Download: typical download speeds of 600 kbps–1.4 Mbps with bursts up to 3.1 Mbps.
•Upload: typical upload speeds of 500-800 kbps with bursts up to 1.8 Mbps.
GSM Mobile Broadband with HSPA+, WCDMA, EDGE and GPRS***
•Download and upload speeds depend on the roaming network.
Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n
•802.11b uses the 2.4 GHz frequency with a bandwidth of 11 Mbps.
•802.11g uses the 2.4 GHz frequency with a bandwidth of 54 Mbps.
•802.11n uses the 2.4 GHz frequency with a bandwidth of 150 Mbps.
* Speeds shown are those published by Verizon Wireless, Inc. and are theoretical in nature. Actual throughput speed and coverage
may vary by network operator. Speed claims not applicable when roaming.
** Mobile Broadband Rev.A speed claim based on Verizon Wireless network tests with 5 MB FTP data les without compression.
Your Mobile Broadband Rev. A-enabled device will indicate coverage when you are in a Mobile Broadband Rev. A service area.
When outside the Rev. A service area, your wireless device will revert to Mobile Broadband Rev. 0 (typical download speeds will
be 400–700 Kbps and upload speeds will be 60–80 Kbps).
