Quick Start

Model DC112A

For the best WiFi performance, attach both antennas.

1.  Align the antennas with the antenna posts on the cradle.

2.  Attach the antennas on the threaded antenna posts, ensuring that the 

connection is secure.

3.  Adjust the antenna positions so that they point straight up.

1.  Place the Smart Cradle in your preferred location. 
2.  Connect the cradle’s power adapter and plug it into an electrical outlet.

The Power LED 

 lights green within one minute. If the Power LED 

does not light, press the 

Power On/Off button on the rear panel of the 

cradle.

The AirCard Smart Cradle allows you to transform your AirCard mobile 
hotspot into a powerful LTE router by combining the benefits of a home 
router and a Wi-Fi signal booster.  It charges your mobile hotspot battery, 
boosts its 4G/3G signal, extends WiFi coverage, and expands your mobile 
hotspot connection to both wired and wireless devices.  This cradle can also 
be used as a standalone 802.11ac Dual-Band WiFi router.

3.  Slide the antenna covers on the bottom of the mobile hotspot to the open 

position. 

4.  Dock the mobile hotspot in the Smart Cradle.

5.  Check the Smart Cradle’s Internet LED       .

The Smart Cradle detects your mobile hotspot’s Internet connection, the 
Internet LED lights green, and the cradle uses the mobile hotspot’s Internet 
connection. The mobile hotspot must have active Internet service.
When your mobile hotspot detects that it is docked, the mobile hotspot 
LCD and home page indicate that it is docked in the cradle. The mobile 
hotspot uses the cradle’s more powerful 3G/4G antennas for better 
network coverage and charges itself through the cradle. The mobile hotspot 
disables its WiFi signal so that you can connect to the Smart Cradle’s 
stronger WiFi signal.

NOTE:

 Some mobile hotspots require a firmware update before they 

automatically disable WiFi when docked. If your mobile hotspot broadcasts its 
WiFi signal when docked, manually set up your mobile hotspot to disable WiFi.  
See the mobile hotspot user guide for more information.

6.  On your computer or WiFi device, find and connect to the WiFi network 

name on the cradle label.
