My System LED is solid red.
–
A red System LED indicates a system error was detected and is
symptomatic of a communication problem with the Verizon Wireless
network.
–
Confirm your base station was activated at time of purchase. If your
base station has not already been activated, call Verizon Wireless
Customer Service at (800) 922-0204 or *611 from your Verizon
Wireless mobile phone and select the option for technical support.

Before contacting the Verizon Wireless Customer Service Center,
confirm the following:
•
Is your WAN LED illuminating blue?
–
If it is not, then there may be a communication problem between your
base station and the router.
–
If the WAN LED is illuminating blue, then check that the router is
communicating properly with your ISP. The Internet activity LED on your
router should be blinking. For further router troubleshooting tips, please
review either the router manufacturer's printed or online documentation.
•
Is the GPS LED illuminating blue? If it is not, the base station might
not be receiving a GPS signal. Inability to receive a GPS signal can
result in the base station failing to validate your account information
and network timing, which then prevents usage and reroutes you
back to the nearest compatible cell tower. If this is the problem,
install the external GPS antenna. See “External GPS Antenna” on
page 13.

It is recommended that the Network Extender be located in a well-
ventilated open area at least 12 inches from any surrounding hot
surfaces. It is not recommended that the base station be installed in a
cabinet or other enclosed location.

How can I manage access to my base station?
–
You have the option to manage priority access settings for your
Network Extender to specified numbers by logging into My Verizon at
www.verizonwireless.com
. A maximum of 50 authorized Verizon
Wireless callers can be registered.
–
When the base station is set to open access, the first three callers
detected within the base station’s area are given access to place or
receive calls through the base station. Your Verizon Wireless Network
Extender is set to open access by default.
–
Anyone else who then initiates a call while all base station channels are
occupied is redirected to the nearest compatible cell tower when
available.
–
When unauthorized callers (callers not on your managed access list)
within range of the base station attempt to place a call, they are
automatically redirected to the nearest compatible cell tower.
–
If a handoff to the nearest compatible cell tower is not possible and all
channels are not in use, one channel may be available for an
