Your battery has been partially charged at the factory. If the device indicates a low
charge, do the following:

1. Connect the charger to a wall outlet.

2. Connect the USB charger plug to your device‟s USB port.

3. When the device indicates a full charge, disconnect the charger from the device,
then from the wall outlet.

Tips: Don’t plug USB cable or charger during powering on the device; otherwise

it may cause the device to work abnormally. If it occurs at your end, please
restart your device.

Micro SD card slot

On this slot you can insert compatible micro SD card up to 64GB.

Wireless Installation Considerations

The DG-HR1070MSE can be accessed using a wireless connection from anywhere
within the operating range of its wireless network. Keep in mind that the quantity,
thickness and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals
must pass through may adversely affect wireless signals. Ranges vary depending on
the type of material and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or
office. The key to maximizing the wireless range is to follow these basic guidelines:

1. Minimize the number of walls and ceilings between the router and other network
devices. Each wall or ceiling can reduce your adapter‟s range from 3 to 90 feet (1 to
30 meters).

DG-HR1070MSE User Manual

2. Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5 feet thick
(0.5 meters) appears to be almost 3 feet (1 meter) thick at a 45-degree angle. At a
2-degree angle it appears over 42 feet (14 meters) thick. Position devices so that the
signal will travel straight through a wall or ceiling (instead of at an angle) for better
reception.

3. Try to position access points, wireless routers and computers so that the signal

passes through open doorways and drywall. Material such as glass, metal, brick,
insulation, concrete and water can affect wireless performance. Large objects such
as fish tanks, mirrors, file cabinets, metal doors and aluminum studs may also
have a negative effect on range.

4. If you are using a 2.4 GHz cordless phone, make sure that the 2.4 GHz phone base
is as far away from your wireless device as possible. The base transmits a signal even
if the phone is not in use. In some cases, cordless phones, X-10 wireless devices and
electronic equipment such as ceiling fans, fluorescent lights and home security
systems may dramatically degrade wireless connectivity.

3-2 Configuring the Router Settings

Initial Connection to the Router

When configuring the router for the first time, you will need to establish a direct
connection with the router in order to access the web-based configuration utility. This
can be done using the included USB cable, or by connecting wirelessly to the
DG-HR1070MSE. Once you have configured your router, you will be able to connect
using the Wi-Fi settings that you have specified in the configuration process. Ensure
that the router is powered ON and has sufficient battery power before commencing
the setup process.

Connect via USB

To connect the router via USB, plug the provided micro USB cable into the micro
USB port at the bottom of the router, and plug the other end into an available USB
port on your computer. Your router is now ready for configuration.

Connect via Wi-Fi

Note: The following example uses Windows 7’s built-in wireless connection
utility. If you are using a different operating system, or a third party connection
utility, the process may be different. Please refer to the documentation that came
with your operating system or wireless client for further information on how to
connect to a wireless network.

To connect to the router using Wi-Fi, open your operating system‟s wireless
networking utility and scan for available networks. By default, the network name
(SSID) of the DG-HR1070MSE is “DIGISOL”

unique security key for your router will be displayed on a sticker in the router‟s

battery bay. By default the security key is “12345678”. Enter the security key in the

box provided and click OK. Your wireless connection utility should confirm that the
connection is successful, and you can move to the next step to continue with
configuration process.
