Section 3: External GPS Antenna
If your Verizon Wireless Network Extender cannot receive a Global Positioning System (GPS) signal, it may be necessary to improve the reception by installing and then positioning the external GPS antenna. This section outlines the installation and relocation of this GPS antenna.
Antenna Installation
In some cases, you may find that because of its current location, the Network Extender’s GPS antenna may not be able to properly receive an active GPS signal. If a stable GPS signal is not detected, as indicated by the red GPS LED, you will need to install the GPS antenna cable as explained in this section.
Without a valid GPS signal, the Network Extender cannot function properly, and calls will be redirected to the nearest compatible cell tower.
Warning!: Use only the GPS antenna supplied with your Verizon Wireless Network Extender.
When positioning the GPS antenna, ensure that it is:
•Installed in a horizontal position.
•Adjacent to a window and in an open area. This ensures clear reception of the GPS signal.
Note: GPS signal strength is greatly reduced when passing through walls or other hard surfaces.
To connect the GPS antenna to the Network Extender, follow these steps:
1.Turn off the Network Extender.
2.Rotate the antenna down to provide access to the GPS antenna’s protective cover.
Note: The GPS antenna receives signals from Global Positioning System satellites and uses them to obtain time and location information.

Section 4: Troubleshooting
Now that you’ve been given an overview of the Verizon Wireless Network Extender, some situations might arise where you’ll need additional usage or connection help. This section provides some troubleshooting tips and techniques.
For more information, please visit us online at www.verizonwireless.com/support.
•My Power LED is not Illuminating.
–Make sure that one end of the power cord is securely connected to an active outlet and that the other end is properly connected to the power supply.
–Make sure the power connector is securely inserted into the rear DC 12V port on the back of the Network Extender.
•My GPS LED is not illuminating blue even after a few minutes.
Note: The first time the Network Extender is used after installation or after relocation, it can take up to one hour to acquire a GPS connection.
–The GPS antenna cannot obtain a signal.
–If possible, move the Network Extender to a location with fewer surrounding obstructions. The new location should be in an open area and closer to a window, if possible.
–If the preceding fails, remove the power cord from the wall outlet for at least 10 seconds.
–Reconnect the power connector to the DC 12V port and plug the power cord into the wall outlet. This allows the Network Extender to re-initiate its startup sequence where it detects the Ethernet connection, GPS signal, and communication with the Verizon Wireless network.
–If relocation does not produce a GPS signal, uninstall the GPS antenna from the Network Extender and relocate it to receive a stronger signal.
•My WAN LED is blue but I cannot place a call via my Verizon Wireless Network Extender.
–Check that the router is communicating properly with your ISP. The Internet activity LED on your router should be blinking. For further router troubleshooting tips, please review the router manufacturer's printed or online documentation.

•My System LED is solid red.
–A red System LED indicates a system error was detected and is symptomatic of a communication problem with the Verizon Wireless network.
–Confirm your Network Extender was activated at time of purchase. If your Network Extender has not already been activated, call Verizon Wireless Customer Service at (800) 922-0204 or *611 from your Verizon Wireless mobile phone and select the option for technical support.
–Before contacting the Verizon Wireless Customer Service Center, confirm the following:
•Is your WAN LED illuminating blue?
–If it is not, then there may be a communication problem between your Network Extender and the router.
–If the WAN LED is illuminating blue, then check that the router is communicating properly with your ISP. The Internet activity LED on your router should be blinking. For further router troubleshooting tips, please review either the router manufacturer's printed or online documentation.
•Is the GPS LED illuminating blue? If it is not, the Network Extender might not be receiving a GPS signal. Inability to receive a GPS signal can result in the Network Extender failing to validate your account information and network timing, which then prevents usage and reroutes you back to the nearest compatible cell tower. If this is the problem, install the external GPS antenna. See “External GPS Antenna” on page 13.

•The Network Extender seems to be getting too hot.
–Make sure there is nothing blocking the heat vents located along the side of the Network Extender.
–It is recommended that the Network Extender be located in a wellventilated open area at least 12 inches from any surrounding hot surfaces. It is not recommended that the Network Extender be installed in a cabinet or other enclosed location.
•How can I manage access to my Network Extender?
–You have the option to manage priority access settings for your Network Extender to specified numbers by logging into My Verizon at www.verizonwireless.com. A maximum of 50 authorized Verizon Wireless callers can be registered.
–When the Network Extender is set to open access, the first three callers detected within the device’s area are given access to place or receive calls through the Network Extender. Your Verizon Wireless Network Extender is set to open access by default.
–Anyone else who then initiates a call while all Network Extender channels are occupied is redirected to the nearest compatible cell tower when available.
–When unauthorized callers (callers not on your managed access list) within range of the Network Extender attempt to place a call, they are automatically redirected to the nearest compatible cell tower.
–If a handoff to the nearest compatible cell tower is not possible and all channels are not in use, one channel may be available for an

unauthorized user to access. Callers on the managed access list are always given priority access to the Network Extender.
Note: Both authorized and unauthorized callers may see more service bars on their Verizon Wireless handset due to their proximity to the Verizon Wireless Network Extender.
Note: A fourth channel is always reserved for emergency (E911) calls to any user within range of the Network Extender.
