Troubleshooting:
My MiFi just powered off without my pressing the power button. Why?
This may occur under any of the following circumstances: 
• Pressing the Master Reset button 
• MiFi automatically restarting after configuration changes 
• Switching profiles  
• Restoring the configuration settings 
• Battery depletion To restore battery power, follow these steps. 
1. Manually press and hold the power button to turn it back on. 
2. If the battery is depleted, charge the MiFi with the wall charger.

No service is available
• Reorient your device. If you are inside a building or near a structure that may be blocking the signal, change the position or location of the device. For example, try moving your device close to a window.  Your MiFi should have 2+bars for consistent service; if the MiFi is at one bar, try changing its location.

The MiFi has no power or the device screen does not display when the power button is pressed. 
• Make sure the battery is properly seated in the device. 
• Make sure the battery is fully charged. Plug in the AC charger for at least 3 hours.
It is recommended to keep your MiFi plugged in at all times to avoid issues.  

I cannot connect to my MiFi. 
• Make sure the Network Signal Strength indicator displays at least one bar and that the type of network is displayed on the MiFi’s Home screen. 
• Make sure your Windows Wi-Fi adapter/Mac AirPort is turned on. (Refer to your computer’s Help if you need assistance.) 
1. Open your wireless network connection list: Windows: Right-click icon and select View Available Networks. Mac: Pull down list from AirPort icon. 
2. Windows: Click Connect. Mac: Select the network name.

I see the network name but cannot connect to my MiFi. 
• Go to Wi-Fi Name/Password to check that you are using the correct Wi-Fi password

How do I disconnect from the network? 
• To disconnect from the WiFi network, select Settings > WiFi > Turn Off on the MiFi device.  

How can I tell that my MiFi is still on after the device screen goes off? 
• When the display is off (sleep mode) and the MiFi is turned on, the blue Power indicator on the front panel of the MiFi blinks.
