USB Modem Location Follow these guidelines in placing your device. ● Avoid moisture or extreme temperatures. ● For improved reception, place the device near a closed window. ● Place your device within easy reach of a reliable power supply and the computer to which it will be connected. Improving Signal Strength There are several ways you can improve the signal strength. ● Make sure you're inside a network coverage area. ● Try reorienting your device. ● Move your computer to another location - you may be in or near a structure that is blocking the signal. Every obstacle (for example, walls, ceilings, furniture) decreases the signal strength. ● Make sure there's plenty of space around your device to provide the best signal reception. ● If you cannot obtain service, contact Sprint - a network or account problem may be preventing you from obtaining service. Improving 3G Network Service To improve your network service, periodically check for PRL and profile updates. The PRL (Preferred Roaming List) is an account configuration item set by your service provider. It controls the radio channels and network carrier used by the 3G modem. To check for these updates: 1. Log in to the home page. (See Logging In as an Administrator.) 2. Click Settings > Network > Preferences. 3. Click Update PRL. Tips 51
