The phone port is disabled. Please do not use this port to make voice calls or call 911.

• Insert your nano-SIM card.

• Press and hold the reset hole for about

3 seconds to restore your device to the factory settings.

* External antenna is not included. You may need to purchase separately.

Indicator Lights

When the Smart Hub is powered on, the following indicators may light up on the front of the device. Here is what they mean.

SIGNAL (Three lights)

NETWORK

WIFI

POWER

On: Three lights show the signal strength. More lights on means better signal.

Off: There is no signal or no nano-SIM card inserted.

Red solid: The Smart Hub is powered on but not

registered to the mobile network. Blue solid: The Smart Hub is registered or connected to the 3G/4G mobile network. White solid: The Smart Hub is registered or connected to the 5G network.

White solid: Wi-Fi works normally. White blinking: WPS is activated. Off: Wi-Fi is off.

On: The Smart Hub is powered on. Off: The Smart Hub is powered off.

Best Placement in the Home

For best connection from the Smart Hub to the cellular network:

• Place your Smart Hub in a central location close to a window where

there is also a power source. Concrete walls, metal doors can reduce cellular signal from the tower. Placement in basements should be avoided.

• Signal strength: You can check the cellular signal strength by checking

the signal indicators on the Smart Hub or after logging into the 5G CPE web page (see Accessing the 5G CPE Web Page). If you do not have full network signal bars, try setting up the Smart Hub in another location of your home.

For best Wi-Fi connection between the Smart Hub and the clients:

• Minimize interference by trying to keep the following items no closer

than 2~3 metres from your Smart Hub: Cordless telephone base

stations, microwaves, baby monitors, Bluetooth devices, wireless

speaker systems.

• Avoid congestion since adding additional devices to your Wi-Fi network

may reduce the speed for all devices on that network.

• Make sure you have a good Wi-Fi signal on your client devices.

Powering On/Off Your Device

Connect the AC adapter/power cable from the Smart Hub to a wall power outlet. The device will turn on automatically.

To power off without disconnecting the cable or the adapter, press and hold the WPS button for 10 seconds. You can then press and hold the button for about 3 seconds to power on again.

Getting to Know the Work Modes

You must set the correct work mode for the Smart Hub in order for it to connect correctly under different scenarios. The Smart Hub offers 4 work modes that you can choose from in the 5G CPE web page after it is disconnected from the Internet.

• Wireless broadband mode: Connect the Smart Hub to the Internet via

the installed nano-SIM card (see Connecting to the Cellular Network) or Internet Wi-Fi (see Connecting to Existing Wi-Fi Networks). Clients can connect to the Smart Hub with a LAN cable or through Wi-Fi to access the Internet and visit the 5G CPE web page.

NOTE:

Unplug LAN cables from both LAN ports of the Smart Hub before using this mode.

• Cable broadband mode: Connect the Smart Hub to the public network

(WAN) via a LAN cable. Clients can connect to the Smart Hub with a LAN cable or through Wi-Fi to access the Internet and visit the 5G CPE web page. You cannot access the Internet via the cellular network even when a valid nano-SIM card is installed.

NOTE:

When switching to Cable broadband mode in the 5G CPE web page,

you need to select the LAN port for the WAN connection. The other LAN port is free for a client to connect.

NOTE:

In Cable broadband mode, you cannot use the nano-SIM card to connect to the Internet.

• Bridge mode: Connect the Smart Hub to the Internet via the installed

nano-SIM card (see Connecting to the Cellular Network) and then use the Smart Hub as a WAN port that another router or a client can connect to with a LAN cable. The client/router can obtain the IP address from the WAN DHCP host and connect to the Internet directly.

NOTE:

When switching to Bridge mode in the 5G CPE web page, you need to select the LAN port that the router is connected to.

NOTE:

In Bridge mode, you cannot connect to the Smart Hub through Wi-Fi or the remaining LAN port to access the Internet. Connect to the remaining LAN port to access the 5G CPE web page for device configuration.

• Auto mode: The Smart Hub will determine work mode by its status of

connection.

Connecting to the Smart Hub

You have two options to connect to the Smart Hub from your client devices, via Wi-Fi or a LAN cable. Once you are connected, test your connection by opening the 5G CPE web page. If you use a computer, set it to obtain an IP address automatically.

Your device contains a transmitter and a receiver. When it is ON, it receives and transmits RF energy. When you communicate with your device, the system handling your connection controls the power level at which your device transmits. Important safety information regarding radiofrequency radiation (RF) exposure. To ensure compliance with RF exposure guidelines the device must be used with a separation from the body. Failure to observe these instructions could result in your RF exposure exceeding the relevant guideline limits. The transmitter is using external antenna that operate at 20cm or more from nearby persons.

The FCC grant can be found under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID: SRQ- MC8010CA.

FCC Compliance

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

CAUTION: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to

which the receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

IC Notice

This radio transmitter (identify the device by certification number, or model number if Category II) has been approved by Industry Canada to operate with the antenna types listed below with the maximum permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each antenna type indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device. Immediately following the above notice, the manufacturer shall provide a list of all antenna types approved for use with the transmitter, indicating the maximum permission antenna gain (in dBi) and required impedance for each. This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device. This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003. IC: 5200E-MC8010CA

IC Radiation Exposure Statement

This device complies with IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. In order to avoid the possibility of exceeding the IC radio frequency exposure limits, human proximity to the antenna shall not be less than 20cm (8 inches) during normal operation. Cet appareil est conforme aux limites d'exposition aux rayonnements de la CNR-102 definies pour unenvironnement non controle Afin d'eviter la possibilite de depasser les limites d'exposition auxfrequences radio de la CNR-102, la proximite humaine a l'antenne ne doit pas etre inferieure a 20 cm (8 pouces) pendant le fonctionnement norma.
