Extend Battery Life
The mobile router, b y default, is configured to optimize battery life. If your mobile router is plugged in for an
extended period of time, the mobile router automatically reduces charging lev els 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 allo ws faster downloads
but uses more power)
• Usage of a USB storage device
• Usage of an SD card
To extend the battery life, use any of the following methods:
• Adjust WiFi settings.
• Adjust display settings.
• Remove the USB storage device.
• Remove the SD card.
Use the Mobile Router as a Fixed Mobile Router
If you use the mobile router as a fixed mobile router, we recommend that you remove the battery and use
a quick charge power adapter. The mobile router supports Quick Charge 2.0 technology.
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.
T urn off USB tethering if you only want to charge y our mobile router with your computer . For more inf ormation,
see Turn Off USB Tethering on page 41.
Quick Charge the Battery
The mobile router supports Quick Charge 2.0 technology.You can charge the mobile router battery with a
Quick Charge–certified power adapter, which charges the battery up to 75 percent faster than regular po wer
adapters by increasing the charging power.
The current rating on the Quick Charge–certified power adapter must be greater than 1.5A.
Manage Battery Usage and Charging
22
Nighthawk M1 4GX Gigabit LTE Mobile Router Model MR1100
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 router and attach
the other end to the wall charger (included).
2. Plug the wall charger into a wall socket.
The Battery bar on the LCD indicates that the battery is charging.
The battery continues to charge when the mobile router is powered off.Note
If your battery does not charge, check the following:
• Is the mobile router hot? If you are in a low-coverage area, are transferring a lot of data, or left the
mobile router in a hot location, the internal temperature of the mobile router can rise above 45°C.
In these conditions, 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 router and plug the other end into the USB port
on your computer.
The Battery bar on the LCD indicates that the battery is charging.
The LCD goes into sleep mode after a set time to extend battery life.To wake up the
Note
LCD, press and quickly release the Power button.
Use the USB Type C Cable to Charge Only
You can log in to the mobile router and specify a setting so that the USB type C cable is used only for
charging and not to access the mobile router 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 router.
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://m.home or http://192.168.1.1.
A login window opens.

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.
• If a battery exhibits significantly shorter runtime or discharge capacity compared to when it was new, it
reached the end of its reasonable lifetime. Consider replacing it.
• If a battery does not charge or exhibits excessive charging time , it is possible that it reached the end of
its life and might need to be replaced.
• All batteries degrade and lose charge capacity over time as a result of use or storage and must e ventually
be replaced.
• Batteries are best stored in a cool, dark, dry place. Av oid storage in direct sunlight and in vehicles parked
outdoors.
• Batteries might get warm while charging and discharging.This is normal behavior for all batteries.
• Use the AC adapter and the USB cable that came with this device.
• Use the latest firmware. Check for updates on a regular basis.
• Device performance and runtime are affected by workload or usage. Higher workloads or usage can
lead to higher battery temperatures and faster battery power consumption.
• Streaming large amounts of data affects the power consumption and reduces the operating time of the
battery.
General Battery Safety
Observe the following guidelines:
• Stop using a battery if its case appears damaged, swollen, or compromised. Examples include , b ut are
not limited to, leaking, odors, dents, corrosion, rust, cracks, swelling, melting, and scratches.
• Do not expose batteries to fire or other heat generating environments.
• Do not place the battery or the device in areas that might get hot. Examples include , but are not limited
to, on or near a space heater, cooking surface, cooking appliance, iron, radiator, or fireplace.
• Do not get the battery or the device wet. Even though it might dry and appear to operate normally, the
circuitry can slowly corrode and defeat its safety circuitry.
• Do not crush, puncture, deform, or put a high degree of pressure on the battery, which can cause an
internal short circuit, resulting in overheating.
• Avoid dropping the battery or the device . Dropping it, especially on a hard surf ace, might cause damage
to the battery and the device. If you suspect damage to the battery or the device, replace it.
• When the battery is outside the device, do not allow the battery to come in contact with metal objects,
such as coins, buttons, jewelry, or tools.
• Do not disassemble or modify batteries. Do not use a battery for anything other than its intended purpose.
