Improving Signal Strength
Make sure you’re inside a 3G or 4G coverage area.
Try reorienting your device.
Move the device and your computer to another location — you may be in or near a structure that is
blocking the signal. Every obstacle (for example, walls, ceilings, furniture) between the Overdrive Pro
3G/4G Mobile Hotspot and other wireless devices decreases the signal strength.
Place the device in a centralized location, as high as possible in the room.
Make sure there’s plenty of space around your device to provide the best signal reception.
Keep the device at least 3–6 feet away from electrical devices that generate RF interference (for
example, microwaves, TVs, 2.4 GHz cordless phones, cellular phones, baby monitors, wireless speakers).
If you’re not using these electrical devices, turn them off.
If possible, place your devices so that the signal passes through open doorways or drywall, as opposed
to concrete, brick, metal, walls with insulation, and so on.
If you cannot obtain service, contact DataJack Customer Service — a network or account problem may
be preventing you from obtaining service.
Improving 3G Network Service
To improve your network service, periodically check for PRL and profile updates. The PRL (Preferred Roaming
List) is an account configuration item set by your service provider. It controls the radio channels and network
carrier used by the 3G modem.
