2.3.6 Using the USB Modem Extension Cable

The UM150 Modem package includes an extension USB Y-shaped cable. Although the cable is not required for use with your UM150 Modem, it offers increased performance for your UM150 Modem under certain operating conditions. Simply insert the USB connector into the USB port of your computing device to deliver power boost, increased RF performance, and to solve clearance issues.

Using the USB Modem Extension Cable:

1)Plug the single end of the Y-shaped cable into the UM150 Modem. [A]

2)Depending on the condition you are trying to solve (power boost, increased RF performance, or clearance issues), plug either one of the two connected ends of the USB modem extension cable into the Type A USB port(s) on your computer. [B]

Note: The USB modem extension cable connector labeled #1, is the primary data power cable used to either extend the UM150 modem away from your computer allowing you to locate the modem in a more optimum signal location or solve any computer USB port clearance issues. The USB modem extension cable connector labeled #2, is a power boost cable and must be used with connector #1 to provide the modem up to 1Amp of current for use in weaker signal areas.

3)The device is connected to and powered by the computer as soon as the USB cable is plugged properly into the appropriate Type A USB port(s).

4)Launch VZAccess Manager and click Connect.
