Undock the Mobile Hotspot
Lift the mobile hotspot from the AirCard Smart Cradle. If it is difficult to
remove, gently wiggle the mobile hotspot from side to side. When you
remove the mobile hotspot, the AirCard Smart Cradle loses its LTE Internet
connection, but it continues to work as a WiFi router. The mobile hotspot
enables its own WiFi again so you can connect to the mobile hotspot WiFi.
