Using Your Device 12
Features
The following list highlights some of the base station's features:
•
The base station enables users to easily install and configure the
system by connecting to an existing broadband network.
•
To prevent unauthorized users from accessing the base station and
diminishing your available bandwidth, you have the option to restrict
the use of your Network Extender by logging into My Verizon at
www.verizonwireless.com.
•
The base station is a Plug & Play device that can be installed to
automatically provide enhanced wireless telephone service in a home
or small office without having to change your existing mobile phone.
•
The base station utilizes a GPS receiver to get both timing and unit
location information. In case of a weak GPS signal, install the external
GPS antenna and locate it near a window to receive a stronger signal.
Note:
Certain Verizon Wireless services are not compatible with the Network
Extender, refer to www.verizonwireless.com/support for details.

station:

ensure that the unit is placed at least 2 feet away from the router (to
avoid interference).
