Software Installation

The process and appearance of certain software elements in Windows
Vista will be somewhat different than in XP. These differences are
minor and should not limit the functionality of the C5XX in any way.

New Hardware Detection

Windows XP

Once the C5XX is connected, a dialog box should pop up from the
Toolbar Hardware Connection Icon. The device will be identified as the
BandLuxe C5XX LTE Utility.

Windows Vista / Windows7

In Vista, a pop-up window may appear. Click
After the first pop-up, all other aspects for software installation will be

identical in all compatible versions of Windows.
Software installation should proceed automatically. If it does not, it may

be initiated from My Computer, where the C5XX will be identified as a
CD-ROM device. Sometimes a restart will occur during installation. If it
does, reinitiate installation from My Computer.

Connecting

Establishing a Connection

With the C5XX installed, an online connection can be ready to use.
The C5XX will automatically scan your system and create a default
profile, which should work in the vast majority of cases. To test it,
simply click the Connect button.

Connection should take about 5 seconds. When established, the
Home screen should show Connected, with the onscreen clock
running and the DownLoad/UpLoad tallies running. The toolbar icon

will also change color to indicate the connection protocol (same
as LED indicator). See Specifications for details.
If connection is unsuccessful, check if the device and SIM card are

properly connected and inserted. If they are, a new internet profile may
need to be created.

Create a Profile

1. Click Menu > Profile. The profile menu will contain the default

profile, showing the operator's name of the SIM card.

7. Enter the phone number for establishing the wireless connection,
supplied by the SIM card carrier; click Save.

8. On the Profile window, click the newly created profile and then click
Default. Click OK to set this profile as the default (only the default
can be connected).

9. The BandLuxe C5XX is now ready for a wireless connection. Click
the Connect icon to establish. Connection should take about 5
seconds. When established, the Home screen should show

Connected, with the onscreen clock running and the DownLoad/
UpLoad tallies counting.

If you switch to a different SIM card, the default profile will no

Note:

longer be valid. You will have to create a new profile in the
manner just described. If you can not access to all the
information necessary to create a new profile, just uninstall and
reinstall the BandLuxe software. The new default profile should
work for the new SIM card

Choose a Profile

Different profiles may be needed, depending on changeable location.

1. Click Menu > Profile.

2. Click New to create a new profile. Depending on the carrier, all 5
spaces may not need to be filled to proceed.

3. Choose a Profile Name. The name is arbitrary and is helpful when
different connection methods are available.

4. Inquire with the Mobile network operator (SIM carrier) as to whether
the User Name and Password are required.

5. The Password can be any combination of letters, numbers or
symbols and is case sensitive.

6. Enter the Access Point Name (APN) supplied by the SIM card
carrier.

2. Highlight the desired profile and click Default.

3. Click OK on the confirmation window if this is the desired profile.

4. The word YES will appear next to the default profile.

Safety Information

Important Notice

Due to the transmission and reception properties of cellular
communications, data can occasionally be lost or delayed. This can be
due to the variation in radio signal strength that results from changes in
the characteristics of the radio transmission path.

Although data loss is rare, the environment where you operate the
C5XX may adversely affect communications. Variations in radio signal
strength are referred to as fading. Fading is caused by several different
factors including signal reflection, the ionosphere, and interference
from other radio channels.

BandRich Inc. or its partners will not be held responsible for damages
of any kind resulting from the delays or errors in data transmitted or
received by the BandLuxe C5XX or failure of the BandLuxe C5XX to
transmit or receive such data.

always clearly marked. Potential locations can include gas stations,
below deck on boats, chemical transfer or storage facilities,
vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane),
areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain,
dust or metal powders, and any other area where you would
normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.

Near Medical and life support equipment.

- Do not operate your C5XX in any area where medical equipment,
life support equipment, or near any equipment that may be
susceptible to any form of radio interference. In such areas, the
host communications device must be turned off. The C5XX may
transmit signals that could interfere with this equipment.

On an aircraft, either on the ground or airborne.

- In addition to FAA requirements, many airline regulations state that
you must suspend wireless operations before boarding an airplane.
Please ensure that the host device is turned off and your C5XX is
removed from the card slot prior to boarding aircraft in order to

Potential Hazards

Do not operate the BandLuxe C5XX in an environment that may be
susceptible to radio interference resulting in danger; specifically:

Areas where prohibited by the law.

- Follow any special rules and regulations and obey all signs and
notices. Always turn off the host device and remove the C5XX from
the card slot when instructed to do so, or when you suspect that it
may cause interference or danger.

Where explosive atmospheres may be present.

- Do not operate your C5XX in any area where a potentially
explosive atmosphere may exist. Sparks in such areas could cause
an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. Be
aware and comply with all signs and instructions.

- Users are advised not to operate the C5XX while at a refueling
point or service station. Users are reminded to observe restrictions

comply with these regulations. The C5XX can transmit signals that
could interfere with various onboard systems and controls.

While operating a vehicle.

- The driver or mobile network operator of any vehicle should not
operate a wireless data device while in control of a vehicle. Doing
so will detract from the driver or mobile network operator’s control
and operation of that vehicle. In some countries, operating such
communications devices while in control of a vehicle is an offense.

on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots (fuel storage and
distribution areas), chemical plants or where blasting operations
are in progress.
