Troubleshooting

Overview
The following tips can help solve many common problems encountered while using your Mobile Hotspot, A50.

First Steps

  1. Make sure you are using your A50 in the correct geographic region (within coverage of your service provider).
  2. Ensure that your wireless coverage extends to your current location by using the interactive Wireless Carrier’s coverage map tool.
  3. Ensure that you have an active service plan.
  4. Restarting your computer and your A50 can resolve many issues.

IMPORTANT! Before contacting customer care, be sure to restart both your A50 and any host devices that are currently connected to your A50.

Common Problems and Solutions
A50 is just powered off without pressing the Power/Menu button. Why?
This may occur under battery depletion or overheating from excessive usage for a long time.
To restore power, manually press and hold the power button to turn on your A50. If the battery is depleted, charge the battery with the AC charger provided.
IMPORTANT! If the power button will not start your A50, please open the battery cover, take out the battery and re-install the battery after 5 seconds. Put the battery cover back and turn on the A50 by pressing the power button.

How do I perform Factory Reset?
Using Web Admin Home page: Connect to your A50 and then open Web Admin home page (http://mobile.hotspot). Select Settings > Device > Backup and Restore and Click Factory Reset.
Using Mobile Hotspot Device Menu: Select Settings on the device display, then go to Factory Reset menu. Select OK to perform Factory Reset.
Using the Factory Reset Button on the device: Remove the battery cover. Make sure the battery is installed and your A50 is powered on. Press down the reset button for 3 seconds and release. Then, your A50 will perform the reset and restart automatically.

I cannot connect to Wi-Fi after changing Wi-Fi password.
Your Wi-Fi devices save the previously used Wi-Fi names associated with the passwords used to access the Wi-Fi name. When you change the Wi-Fi password only for your A50 and keep the same Wi-Fi Name, the devices try to connect to your A50 using the Wi-Fi name and previous Wi-Fi password saved, causing Wi-Fi authentication error. Perform “forget” first on the Wi-Fi name from your host devices.
I cannot access the Web Admin,http://192.168.10.1
Ensure that Wi-Fi connection is enabled on your device and that you have selected the correct Wi-Fi name (SSID) for your A50 connection. Also, make certain that you are entering the correct full URL address as http://192.168.10.1 or  http://mobile.hotspot.
If you changed the LAN IP settings from the Web Admin, Settings > Advanced Router > LAN Settings before, you need to use the IP address you changed to access the Web Admin page.
I cannot log into Web Admin, http://mobile.hotspot
Ensure that you are entering the correct Web Admin password to log in. The default Web Admin login password is “admin” unless you have previously changed. If you have forgotten your password, perform Factory Rest on your device  (see How do I perform Factory Reset?).

  • The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation of six inches must be maintained between a device and a pacemaker in order to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These  recommendations are consistent with the independent research by and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.
    Persons with pacemakers should always follow these guidelines:

  • Always keep the device at least six inches away from a pacemaker when the device is turned on.

  • Place your device on the opposite side of your body where your pacemaker is implanted in order to add extra distance between the pacemaker and your device.

  • Avoid placing a device that is on next to a pacemaker (e.g., do not carry your device in a shirt or jacket pocket that is located directly over the pacemaker).

  • If you are concerned or suspect for any reason that interference is taking place with your pacemaker, turn your device OFF immediately.

Hearing Devices
When some wireless devices are used with certain hearing devices (including hearing aids and cochlear implants) users may detect a noise which may interfere with the effectiveness of the hearing device.

Use of Your Device while Operating a Vehicle
Please consult the manufacturer of any electronic equipment that has been installed in your vehicle as RF signals may affect electronic systems in motor vehicles.
Please do not operate your device while driving a vehicle. This may cause a severe distraction, and, in some areas, it is against the law.

Use of Your Device on an Aircraft
Using your device during flight may violate FAA regulations. Because your device may interfere with onboard electronic equipment, always follow the instructions of the airline personnel, and turn your device OFF when instructed to do  so.

Blasting Areas
In order to avoid interfering with blasting operations, your device should be turned OFF when in a blasting area or in an area with posted signs indicating that people in the area must turn off two-way radios. Please obey all signs and  instructions when you are in and around a blasting area.

Proper Battery & Adapter Use and Disposal

  • Do not disassemble or open crush, bend or deform, puncture or shred.

  • Do not modify or remanufacture, attempt to insert foreign objects into the battery, immerse or expose to water or other liquids, expose to fire, explosion, or another hazard.

  • Only use the battery for the system for which it is specified.

  • Only use the battery with a charging system that has been qualified with the system per
    CTIA Certification Requirements for Battery System Compliance to IEEE 1725. Use of an unqualified battery or charger may present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage, or another hazard.

  • Do not short circuit a battery or allow metallic conductive objects to contact battery terminals.

  • Replace the battery only with another battery that has been qualified with the system per this standard, IEEE-Std-1725. Use of an unqualified battery may present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage, or another hazard. Only authorized  service providers shall replace the battery.

  • Promptly dispose of used batteries in accordance with local regulations.

  • Battery usage by children should be supervised.

  • Avoid dropping the battery. If the battery is dropped, especially on a hard surface, and the user suspects damage, take it to a service center for inspection.

  • Improper battery use may result in a fire, explosion, or another hazard.

  • The host device shall only be connected to CTIA certified adapters, products that bear the USB-IF logo or products that have completed the USB-IF compliance program.
