password you set for the Mobile Wi-Fi. 2. Go to Advanced > DHCP Server. 3. Enter a new IP address in the IP Address field and leave the Subnet Mask as
default. And enter the starting and ending IP addresses in the Start and End IP Address fields respectively.
Note: 1. The start and end IP addresses should be on the same network segment as the IP address you have
entered. 2. If you have changed the IP address of your Mobile Wi-Fi, you should use the new IP address or
http://tplinkmifi.net to log in to the web management page.

Handling Instructions for Lithium Ion Rechargeable Battery Please read and follow the handling instructions for the battery before use. Improper use of the battery may cause heat, fire explosion, damage or capacity deterioration of the battery. · Do not place or leave the battery and equipment in the reach of infants so that they are not able to swallow or mistreat the battery by mistake. In case of ingestion, consult with a doctor immediately.
· Do not let leaked electrolyte come into contact with eyes or skin. In such a case, immediately wash the area of contact with clean water and seek help from a doctor. If not treated soon, prolonged contact may cause serious injury.
· Do not put the battery into a fire. Do not use it or leave it in a place near fire, heaters, or high temperature sources. In such a case, the insulator in the battery may be melted, the safety vent and structure may be damaged, or the electrolyte may catch fire, all of which may cause heat generation, explosion, or fire.
· Do not submerge the battery in water, or wet the battery. If the protecting device assembled in the battery is damaged, the battery may be charged with an abnormal current and voltage and may cause a chemical reaction within the battery, which may result in the cause of heat generation, explosion, or fire of the battery.
· Do not use any battery charger not specified by the manufacture, also follow the charge conditions specified by the manufacture. If the battery is charged under other conditions (a high temperature, a high voltage / current, or an altered charger) not specified by the manufacture, the battery may become over-charged with an excessive current and cause heat, explosion, or fire with abnormal chemical reactions. · Do not use, charge, or leave the battery near fire or in a car under the blazing sun. Such a high temperature may cause damage of the protecting device in the battery, which may result in an abnormal reaction, and then heat generation, explosion, or fire.
· Do not connect the battery reversed in positive (+) and negative (-) terminals in the charger or equipment. In case the battery is connected and charged reversely, it may cause heat generation, explosion, or fire due to an abnormal chemical reaction.
· Do not let the battery terminals (+ and -) contact a wire or any metal (like a metal necklace or a hairpin) with which it carried or stored together. In such a case, the battery will be shorted and cause an excessive current, which may result in heat generation, explosion, or fire.
· Do not connect the battery directly to an electric outlet or cigarette heater socket in car. With a high voltage applied, the battery may overheat, explode, or cause fire.
· Do not throw or drop the battery. Strong impact may damage the protecting device, which may cause an abnormal chemical reaction during charging and result in heat generation, explosion, or fire of the battery.
· Do not drive a nail in, hit with a hammer, or stamp on the battery. In such a case, the battery may be deformed and shorted, which may cause heat generation, explosion, or fire of the battery.
· Do not solder the battery directly. Heat applied during soldering may damage the insulator of the safety vent and mechanism, which may result in heat generation, explosion, or fire of the battery.
· Do not disassemble or alter the battery.
The battery employs a safety mechanism and a protecting device in order to avoid any danger. If these are damaged, heat, explosion or fire may be caused.
CAUTION · Do not put the battery in a microwave or a pressure cooker. Sudden heat may damage the seal of the battery and may cause heat generation, explosion, or fire of the battery.
· Do not use the battery with other maker's batteries, different types and / or models of batteries such as dry batteries, nickel-metal hydride batteries, or nickel-cadmium batteries, or new and old lithium ion batteries together. In such a case, over-discharge during use, or over-charge during charge may occur abnormal chemical reactions and may cause heat generation, explosion, or fire of the battery.
· Do not leave the battery in a charger or equipment if it generates an odor and /or heat, changes color and / or shape, leaks electrolyte, or causes any other abnormality. In such a case, immediately take the battery out of the charge or equipment and keep it away from fire, otherwise, the battery might overheat, explode, or cause fire.
· Discontinue charging after specified charging time even if the charge is not complete, otherwise, the battery might cause heat generation, explosion, or fire.
· Do not use the battery in the place where the static electricity (more than the limit of the manufacturer's guarantee) occurs. Otherwise, the protecting device in the battery might be damaged and cause heat generation, explosion, or fire.
· Do not use the battery in other than the following conditions; otherwise, the battery might cause heat generation, damage, or deterioration of its performance.
Operating environment: When the battery is charged: 0 +45 (Humidity < 80%) When stored 1 months: -20 +50 (Humidity < 80%) When stored 3 months: -20 +45 (Humidity < 80%) When stored 1 year: -20 +20 (Humidity < 80%) Please read and follow the above safety information when operating the device. We cannot guarantee that no accidents or damage will occur due to improper use of the device. Please use this product with care and operate at your own risk.
