Let’s get started
Thanks for choosing the AC3633. It’s a cdma2000 Wireless Data Terminal,
which we’ll simply call ‘router’ from now on.
If you’d like your router to live a long and fruitful life, please read this guide
carefully and keep it for future reference. You never know when you might
need it.
And don’t worry if the pictures we use to demonstrate your router’s
functions look a little different from what you see on its screen. It’s the
functions they show that matter.
Lost or stolen?
If your router goes missing, please tell your service provider as soon as
you know. That way other people can be barred from using it.
We’d strongly advise you to set a PIN, and change it from time to time.

Care and maintenance
Your router is a delicate device. The following advice will help you to keep it
looking good and performing well…
Use a soft dry cloth to clean your router, battery and charger. Don’t use
liquids such as alcohol, dilution agents or benzene.
From time-to-time, clean the socket where the charger cable connects
to the router. Dust tends to gather there. This will ensure a really good
connection.
Don’t use needles, pen points or other sharp objects on the keypad or
screen.
Don’t use your router with wet hands – it could injure you and damage
the router.
Don’t use your router in dusty or dirty environment.
Keep your router away from extremes of heat – like radiators or ovens.
It may explode if it gets too hot.
If your router gets wet and the colour of the label on it changes, the
warranty will be void, even if the warranty period hasn’t expired.

Appendix

If there’s anything wrong with the router, battery, charger, or any
accessory, please send them to your nearest service centre for
inspection.
