Use With Care
Getting Started (continued)
Always use your CLEAR Stick Atlas with care. Please consider the following when using the device:
•
Take care do not drop the CLEAR Stick Atlas
•
Keep the CLEAR Stick away from other devices that produce electromagnetic waves
•
Keep the CLEAR Stick out of direct sunlight
•
Do not throw or dismantle the CLEAR Stick
•
Prevent pets and children from playing with the CLEAR Stick
•
Do not immerse the CLEAR Stick in water or other liquid
•
Make sure your hands are dry before handling the CLEAR Stick
•
Do not cover or apply adhesives to the CLEAR Stick. They may cause the CLEAR Stick to overheat and may
alter the antenna’s performance
•
Don’t operate the CLEAR Stick while driving
Plug the CLEAR Stick into the USB port on your computer or other device. The device will
power up and detect the computer’s operating system.
The
Blue
Signal Strength LEDs will all light up and the center LED will flash briefly. The
Status LED will be solid
Amber.
After a few seconds, the Signal Strength LEDs will move in a
left to right “chase” pattern as the CLEAR Stick searches for a 4G signal. Once the signal is
acquired, the LEDs show solid
Blue
and reflect the appropriate signal strength.
The status LED will change from solid
Amber
(disconnected) to flashing
Green
for a few
seconds during network entry, then to solid
Green
(connected) when the device is
connected to CLEAR 4G.
Each time you use the CLEAR Stick, your computer’s operating system will apply the
appropriate, native RNDIS or CDC driver and then connect to CLEAR 4G. The first time you
use the device:
•
For Windows® XP, the Stick automatically installs an RNDIS driver since this does not
exist natively for this operating system.
•
For Windows® 7 & Vista computers with Autoplay enabled, your computer’s Autoplay
dialog will display “CLEAR Stick Setup”. Click this link to install a small application that
will suppress Autoplay from popping up during subsequent uses of the CLEAR Stick
Atlas. Note: the Autoplay suppression application is applied the next time your
computer is restarted. It will only suppress Autoplay when using the CLEAR Stick.
