SUMMARY OF DEVICE’S INTENDED USE

Laptop and Charger

Your laptop has been set up with your user profile. The password to your account should have been communicated to you prior to receiving this package but if you need assistance, you can contact Mister IT at MisterIT@mistercarwash.com.
This laptop has O365 Suite which includes Microsoft Outlook, Word, PowerPoint, and Excel, along with Adobe Reader, Teams, Chrome, and other common software remain functional before Go live.
Mister Connect will be your homepage on Chrome. The desktop should also be pre-populated with links to Chrome River, Hotshop, etc.

TMO (T-Mobile) USB Modem

The T-Mobile USB Modem can be used by simply connecting to one of the USB slots on the right side of your device.
1. This device has built in antenna’s that work for most situations but if your connectivity is poor, you can connect the included antennas to the T-Mobile USB Modem (explained below at point #2).

Please note that this USB modem has a 2GB monthly data limit. This device is to be used as a primary internet device at the New Build location. It should not be used if another internet option is available. For example, Wi-Fi and ethernet are preferred methods of internet connection at home or at other locations, to reduce the chances of overage charges.

Antennas

To connect your antennas to the USB device, start by popping off the back cover.

You will see 2 removeable covers that open to TS9 male antenna connectors.

You will need to pull the antennas out of the box, screw the antenna to the base then connect the TS9 female connector to the T-Mobile USB Modem (these are push down connectors, that sometimes require a little bit of force).

Once connected, you can pop the back cover back on and position the antennas near a window or opening in the room, such as doorway, etc.
1. The base of the antennas is magnetic, and can be mounted to a window frame, etc...

Verifying your connection

Once you have the T-Mobile USB Modem inserted into the laptop (with or without external antenna’s) your device will take a few minutes to establish a connection.
The T-Mobile USB Modem should automatically connect, you can confirm the connection by clicking the wireless icon in the bottom right of your screen (where you connect to Wi-Fi)

You should see a T-Mobile icon that says “Connected.”

You can also confirm on the T-Mobile USB Modem’s digital screen, you will see a meter of data usage and time connected with connection strength in the top left corner, like the screenshot below.

Notes:

Please remember, NEVER travel with the T-Mobile USB Modem in your laptop. This can cause potential damage to your computer and the T-Mobile USB Modem. It is always recommended to deconstruct the T-Mobile USB Modem and the antenna’s before transporting your laptop even a short distance.

Returning your device after Go live:

The IT tech on the install will retrieve this case from you after Go Live and ship back to HQ. Please make sure all contents are packed and ready for shipping.
Your files on the PC will automatically be backed up to your OneDrive so you will be able to access them from the Manager PC after Go live. IT will assist with any questions you may have for accessing these files.
