Important

Notice Due to the nature of wireless communications, transmission and reception of data

can never be guaranteed. Data may be delayed, corrupted (i.e., have errors) or be

totally lost. Although significant delays or losses of data are rare when wireless

devices such as the NETGEAR modem are used in a normal manner with a well-

constructed network, the NETGEAR modem should not be used in situations

where failure to transmit or receive data could result in damage of any kind to the

user or any other party, including but not limited to personal injury, death, or loss

of property. NETGEAR accepts no responsibility for damages of any kind

resulting from delays or errors in data transmitted or received using the

NETGEAR modem, or for failure of the NETGEAR modem to transmit or receive

such data.

Safety and

Hazards Do not operate the NETGEAR modem in areas where blasting is in progress,

where explosive atmospheres may be present, near medical equipment, near life

support equipment, or any equipment that may be susceptible to any form of radio

interference. In such areas, the NETGEAR modem MUST BE POWERED OFF.

The NETGEAR modem can transmit signals that could interfere with this

equipment.

Do not operate the NETGEAR modem in any aircraft, whether the aircraft is on

the ground or in flight. In aircraft, the NETGEAR modem MUST BE POWERED

OFF. When operating, the NETGEAR modem can transmit signals that could

interfere with various onboard systems.

The driver or operator of any vehicle should not operate the NETGEAR modem

while in control of a vehicle. Doing so will detract from the driver or operator's

control and operation of that vehicle. In some states and provinces, operating

such communications devices while in control of a vehicle is an offence.

Limitation of

Liability The information in this manual is subject to change without notice and does not

represent a commitment on the part of NETGEAR. NETGEAR AND ITS

AFFILIATES SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ANY AND ALL DIRECT,

INDIRECT, SPECIAL, GENERAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE

OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOSS OF

PROFITS OR REVENUE OR ANTICIPATED PROFITS OR REVENUE ARISING

OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE ANY NETGEAR PRODUCT, EVEN IF

NETGEAR AND/OR ITS AFFILIATES HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE

POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OR THEY ARE FORESEEABLE OR FOR

CLAIMS BY ANY THIRD PARTY.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall NETGEAR and/or its affiliates

aggregate liability arising under or in connection with the NETGEAR product,

regardless of the number of events, occurrences, or claims giving rise to liability,

be in excess of the price paid by the purchaser for the NETGEAR product.

NETGEAR AirCard USB Modem User Guide

About the AirCard USB Modem

The NETGEAR®AirCard®USB Modem enables you to connect to

the Internet, send and receive email, connect to a corporate network

or virtual private network (VPN), or view streaming video without the

need for a network cable.

The AirCard USB Modem connects to a Type A USB port on your

computer.

If the AirCard USB Modem is TRU-Install enabled, all the required

software is available on the modem. When you set up your AirCard

USB Modem, the software is installed on your computer. You do not

need an installation CD. (Depending on your service provider, your

modem may include an installation CD.)

The AirCard USB Modem has a built-in antenna and may have a slot

that accommodates a microSDexternal memory card. Depending

on your service provider, a microSD card may be included in your

package, or you may need to purchase it separately.

Depending on the model and your service provider, your modem may

support GPS.

Your account and coverage area

Note: If you purchased the

modem from a service

provider, you may already

have an account and a

SIM card. Otherwise, your

retailer should be able to

give you the names of

companies that provide

these items.

You must have an account with a service provider to use the AirCard

USB Modem. To use the AirCard USB Modem’s 3G or LTE capability,

your account must be with a service provider that offers 3G or LTE

service. (The AirCard USB Modem may be backwards compatible

with 2G service—support is SKU-dependent.)

When you obtain your account, you are given a Subscriber Identity

Module (SIM) card containing account information. You must insert

the SIM card into the AirCard USB Modem before you use it.

(Depending on your service provider, the SIM card may already be

inserted.)

When establishing a connection, your AirCard USB Modem uses the

fastest available service. Your ability to obtain service depends on

these factors:

Note: The fee for service

is usually higher when you

are roaming (connected to

a network other than the

one belonging to your

service provider).

• Network coverage—You must be within the network coverage

area.

• Service provider—If you are within the coverage area of a

network that is not operated by your own service provider, you

can obtain service only if there is a roaming agreement between

your service provider and the network operator.

• Account provisions—Your account may restrict your usage to certain

networks or limit the amount of time you can use the network.

• Frequency band—You cannot connect to networks operating in bands not

supported by your modem, regardless of roaming agreements or account

provisions.

Most service providers have coverage maps on their web sites.

AirCard USB Modem features

The AirCard USB Modem has the following features:

•USB connector

•SIM card slot

•On some models, a microSD external storage card

•Status information—Status information is shown using an LCD on the front of

the modem.

The placement of card slots, connectors, and LCDs varies depending on your

modem model.

LCD operation

AirCard USB Modems have an LCD that shows the current status of the modem.

The LCD may display (depending on service provider and model):

•Messages while connecting to a network (“Searching for network...”,

“Connected to operator”, etc.)

•Operational status icons/text—See Ta b l e 1 on page 7.

•Alerts (“No SIM installed”, “Data roaming is disabled”, “Data Limit Alert”,

connection error messages, etc.)

LCD display

microSD card and SIM card slots are under the

back cover. See page 11 and page 12 for details.

Rev 1 Apr.13 7

Web User Interface

Your AirCard USB Modem may come with an embedded Web user interface,

depending on your modem and service provider.

Use the Web user interface to manage the modem and your account.

For information on the web user interface for your device, refer to device-specific

documentation (e.g. user guides, quick start guides, etc.), available at
