System LED is solid red or blinking red for more than a minute

– A red System LED indicates a system error was detected and is symptomatic of a communication problem with the Verizon Wireless network. 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 the WAN LED illuminating blue?
– If it is not, then there may be a communication problem between your Network Extender for Business 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 the 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 Network Extender for Business might not be receiving a GPS signal. Inability to receive a GPS signal can result in the Network Extender for Business 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 18.
Note: For further information regarding LED behavior see "LED Guide" on page 21.
