Additional Setup Information

Getting started with your new Verizon Wireless Network Extender is easy. This section walks you through an overview of the product, package contents, activation, and how to contact Verizon Wireless for assistance with your service and your base station.

The Verizon Wireless Network Extender is used within your home or home office to extend your Verizon Wireless coverage area through an existing Internet broadband connection.

About the size of a traditional wireless access point (WAP), the base station facilitates the delivery of cellular traffic through the Internet to the Verizon Wireless network, which then routes the signal to the desired party.

•

A maximum of three phones can connect to the Verizon Wireless Network Extender at any one time.

–

The first three callers to initiate or receive a call will connect to the base station. Additional users who make or receive a call, while all base station channels are in use, are redirected to the nearest compatible cell tower (if available).

–

As each caller ends a call, that channel then becomes available for another user to initiate (or receive) a new call.

Note:

The base station can be managed to ensure Verizon Wireless phone numbers you authorize will always enjoy priority access to the Network Extender network. Up to 50 Verizon Wireless cell phones can be registered on a specific base station.

•

Authorized account users can manage access settings for their Verizon Wireless Network Extender by logging into My Verizon at

www.verizonwireless.com.

–

When the base station is set to managed access mode, unauthorized users are redirected to the nearest compatible cell tower wherever possible.
