Get to Know Your Mobile Hotspot
Your mobile hotspot lets you create a WiFi access point in any location with cellular
network coverage. Use a WiFi access point to connect your computer or mobile devices
to your service provider’s mobile broadband network and connect to the Internet.
Your mobile hotspot can receive power from any of the following sources:
Rechargeable battery included with the mobile hotspot
•
Wall socket using the AC adapter and USB cable
•
USB port on your computer
•
The Nighthawk 5G Mobile Hotspot Pro can be operated without the battery when it is
plugged in to its original Quick charge power adapter. This feature is useful for fixed
wireless application where the device needs to be left on for a prolonged time

Nighthawk 5G Mobile Hotspot Pro
Extend Battery Life
The mobile hotspot, by default, is configured to optimize battery life. If your mobile
hotspot is plugged in for an extended period of time, the mobile hotspot automatically
reduces charging levels to help protect battery life.
The following factors affect battery life:
Standby time
•
Data throughput
•
Mobile broadband signal strength (the better the signal, the longer the battery life)
•
WiFi range
•
Dual-band WiFi (when all of your devices support 5 GHz WiFi, dual-band WiFi allows
•
faster downloads but uses more power)
To extend the battery life, use any of the following methods:
Adjust WiFi settings.
•
Adjust display settings.
•
Use the Mobile Hotspot Without a Battery
If you connect your mobile hotspot to a power adapter that supports Quick Charge 2.0
or 3.0, you can remove the battery. We recommend operating without the battery in
applications where the mobile hotspot is used for extended periods, such as using the
mobile hotspot as a fixed router.
Recharge the Battery
The battery comes partially charged. You can recharge the battery from a wall socket
or from the USB port on your computer. Recharging from a wall socket is faster than
recharging from a USB port.
Turn off USB tethering if you only want to charge your mobile router with your computer.
For more information, see Turn Off USB Tethering on page 40.
User Manual23Manage Battery Usage and
Charging
Nighthawk 5G Mobile Hotspot Pro
Quick Charge the Battery
The mobile hotspot supports Quick Charge 2.0 technology. You can charge the mobile
hotspot battery with a Quick Charge–certified power adapter, which charges the battery
up to 75 percent faster than regular power adapters by increasing the charging power.
The current rating on the Quick Charge–certified power adapter must be greater than
1.5A.
Recharge the Battery From a Wall Socket
To recharge the battery from a wall socket:
1.
Attach one end of the micro USB cable to the connector on the right on the mobile
hotspot and attach the other end to the wall charger (included).
2. Plug the wall charger into a wall socket.
The Battery icon on the LCD indicates that the battery is charging.
Note: The battery continues to charge when the mobile hotspot is powered off.
If your battery does not charge, check the following:
Is the mobile hotspot hot? If you are in a low-coverage area, are transferring a
•
lot of data, or left the mobile hotspot in a hot location, the internal temperature
of the mobile hotspot can rise above 45°C. In these conditions, the rate of battery
charging is reduced, or at 50ºC or above the battery cannot be charged due to
safety limits with lithium-ion battery technology.
Make sure that the USB cable and the AC wall charger are connected securely
•
and are working correctly.
If the wall socket is controlled by a switch, make sure that the switch is in the
•
power-on position.

Recharge the Battery From a Computer USB Port
To recharge the battery from the USB port on your computer:
Attach one end of the micro USB cable to the mobile hotspot and plug the other
end into the USB port on your computer.
The Battery icon on the LCD indicates that the battery is charging.
Note: The LCD goes into sleep mode after a set time to extend battery life. To wake
up the LCD, tap the Power button.
Use the USB Type C Cable to Charge Only
You can log in to the mobile hotspot and specify a setting so that the USB type C cable
is used only for charging and not to access the mobile hotspot using a web browser.
You might want to do this if you are using the Ethernet port and a wall socket is not
available to charge the mobile hotspot.
To specify a USB type C cable charge-only setting:
1. From a computer that is connected to your network, launch a web browser.
2.
Enter http://attwifimanager or http://192.168.1.1.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the router user name and password.

Battery Tips
The following tips explain best practices for battery usage and care:
Charge batteries in a room-temperature environment, which is generally between
•
68°F and 79° F (20°C and 26°C). Charging might be temporarily disabled if the
battery temperature exceeds 113°F (60°C). If the battery temperature is hot, but less
than 113°F (60°C), the battery charges, but at a slower rate than usual.
