The AIRAVE 2.5+ you requested is enclosed. The
AIRAVE
provides a boosted signal for your wireless voice and
3G
data services. It’s like having your very own cell tower.
1.
Follow the diagram below to connect the antenna
to the AIRAVE.
2.
Place the GPS antenna on a flat surface and next to a
closed window, if possible.
Note: It may take up to 30 minutes for the GPS LED light to
become solid green.
Note: In large homes, the external GPS antenna can be used
to allow the AIRAVE to be placed
in a more central location,
allowing for more even coverage
throughout the house.

Check Your Connection
Your AIRAVE’s LED lights will flash as your device
initializes and acquires a GPS lock.
When the Mobile, Network, GPS, and Broadband LED
lights have stopped blinking, your AIRAVE is ready to use.
This process can take up to two hours.
Do not interrupt the process during this time.
Once the four LED lights have stopped blinking and
are a steady green, test your AIRAVE connection:
Dial *99 on any Sprint phone. You should hear
a message that says “You are now within
AIRAVE coverage.”
Note: You will hear three short beeps when placing or
answering calls on your wireless phone if you are within
range of the AIRAVE.
Important: To ensure the best voice and data quality,
always connect the LAN router to your AIRAVE. Do not
connect the router directly to your broadband modem
or other broadband connection device.
WAIT
The AIRAVE will display solid
green lights when it is activated
and functioning properly.
