Although the battery is rechargeable, itll eventually start to lose its ability to recharge. If you find that the battery wont recharge, its time to replace it. Please dont throw old batteries into your household rubbish. Youll find there are special bins for batteries at refuse collection points. And some high street electrical stores provide a battery recycling service too. Never throw the battery into a fire its highly inflammable and could explode, hurting you or somebody else. When you put the battery into your router, theres no need to use force. Exerting too much pressure could make it leak, overheat, explode or burst into flame. Never take the battery apart. This may result in leakage, overheating, explosion or fire. If the battery becomes hot, changes colour or shape at any time (when in use, charging or even while in storage) please stop using it 5 Lets get started immediately and replace. Keep the battery dry. Damp or wet conditions can cause it to overheat or corrode. Dont leave the battery in direct sunlight or anywhere really hot, like in a car on a summers day. That could make it leak or overheat, while lowering its performance and shortening its life. Dont charge the battery continuously for 24 hours. Overcharging is not good for it. Note:
Please avoid contact with the materials inside a damaged or leaking battery. If they get on your skin, wash with lots of water and seek medical assistance if required. Charger care and safety Only plug into voltages between 110VAC and 220VAC. Using a voltage outside that range can damage the router/charger and cause the 6 Lets get started battery to leak or catch fire. Never short-circuit the charger this may cause electrocution, overheating or damage. Dont charge the router in direct sunlight or in an area where its damp, dusty, or on a vibrating surface. And charging your router near or on a TV or radio could interfere with transmission. Dont use the charger if the power cable is damaged. It may cause a fire or give someone an electric shock. Keep water well away from the charger. If the charger does get splashed by water, or any other kind of liquid, immediately unplug it to avoid overheating, fire or electrocution. Dont take the charger apart. It could cause injury, give you an electric shock or catch fire. Never touch any charger, electric cable or socket with wet hands. Dont place heavy objects on the electric cable. If the cable is damaged, dont try to mend it yourself it could cause a fire or electrocute you. Always unplug the charger before you clean it. When unplugging the charger, hold the plug itself, rather than pulling on 7 Lets get started the cable. A damaged cable can cause electrocution or fire. 8 Lets get started USB LED light Power key Getting to know your router 9 Lets get started Note:

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. NOTE: The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or TV interference caused by unauthorized modifications to this equipment. Such modifications could void the users authority to operate the equipment. NOTE: 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:
27 Appendix
- 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 28 Appendix 4RF exposure information (SAR) This mobile phone meets the governments requirements for exposure to radio waves. This phone is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government. The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg. *Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the phone while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the poser required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output. The highest SAR value for the model phone as reported to the FCC, described in this user guide, is Position Body 800MHz (W/Kg) 1.315 1900MHz (W/Kg) 1.309 WIFI(W/Kg) 0.188
(Body-worn measurements differ among phone models, depending upon available 29 Appendix accessories and FCC requirements.) While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement. The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID:
Q78-AR910. For body worn operation, this wireless data terminal has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines for use with an accessory that contains no metal and the positions the wireless data terminal a minimum of 1 cm from the body. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. If you do not use a body-worn accessory and are not holding the phone at the ear, position the wireless data terminal a minimum of 1cm from your body when the phone is switched on. This device is compliance with SAR for general population /uncontrolled exposure limits in ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1999 and had been tested in accordance with the measurement methods and procedures specified in OET Bulletin 65 Supplement C. 30 Appendix Declaration of RoHS compliance Were determined to reduce the impact we have on the environment and take responsibility for the earth we live on.

(1) Lead (Pb)
(2) Mercury (Hg)
(3) Cadmium (Cd)
(4) Hexavalent Chromium (Cr (VI))
(5) Polybrominated biphenyl (PBB)
(6) Polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) Our compliance is witnessed by written declaration from our suppliers. This confirms that any potential trace contamination levels of the substances listed above are below the maximum level set by EU2011/65/EC, or are exempt due to their application. The AR910 manufactured by ZTE CORPORATION, meets all the requirements of EU 2011/65/EC. 31 Appendix Disposal of your old router 1.
