to blink red for a couple of minutes during boot
up. Otherwise, check the following to make sure

described on Page 3. If you plugged in your device
before going through the activation process, try
rebooting it now.
• For Ethernet installations: Check that your
network cables are plugged in securely. Verify that
the INTERNET port is connected to your router
(or modem).
Check that your Internet connection is working.
Try connecting a computer to the HOME port
and browse to my.ooma.com. You should see
the login screen for My Ooma. If not, troubleshoot
your Internet connection.

base Station and 4G adapter to a different location
in your home. See Placement Advisory on page

strength. Test different locations for optimum
performance.
• Try rebooting your Base Station, modem, and router
by pulling out the power and plugging them back in.
