Thank you for purchasing BearExtender! Please select your version of Mac OS X to begin: Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion Mac OS X 10.7 Lion Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard Checking your version of Mac OS X Go to the Apple Menu, and choose “About This Mac.” Then look for the version number of Mac OS X you have installed. Step 1: Install Open the Mac OS X Mountain Lion folder on the CD, then double click “Install”. When the installation has finished, restart your Mac. Step 2: Plug in BearExtender Connect the USB cable directly to your Mac. If you are using a Macintosh desktop computer, do not use the low power USB ports on the keyboard. Step 3: Turn Off Wi-Fi If your Mac has a built-in Wi-Fi (AirPort) card, please turn it off while using BearExtender. Step 4: Join a network from the BearExtender window Select your network from the list and click “Connect”. Once you are connected, you can close or minimize this window. Use this window to scan and connect to networks in place of the AirPort (Wi-Fi) menu. Congratulations! BearExtender is now ready for use. If you need help, please view the Troubleshooting page or contact us. Next Steps Learn how to create a Favorite Network >> Using the BearExtender Window The BearExtender window will automatically open whenever BearExtender is plugged in. BearExtender will then perform a scan of nearby networks and connect to the strongest open network. Connecting to a Network Select a network from the list and click Connect. If your network does not appear in the list immediately, click Refresh. The signal strength is displayed as a percent out of 100. Once you are connected to a network, you can minimize or close the BearExtender window. Creating a Favorite Network You can save frequently accessed Wi-Fi network passwords, so you will not need to re-enter the password each time. 1. Click once on the network in the “Networks” list. 2. Click Add to Profile 3. Enter the network password (network key), then click “OK”. Comparing signal strength To compare BearExtender’s signal strength with your internal AirPort (Wi-Fi) card, download a scanning program such as iStumbler. iStumbler and other scanning programs can display your internal AirPort card’s signal strength as a percentage for comparison with BearExtender. Changing the Country Region Code The country region code is set to channels 1-11 by default for use in the United States. In other parts of the world, you may be able to use additional channels, such as 1-13 in most European countries. Channel 14 is currently limited to only a few countries such as Japan. Disabling BearExtender To disable BearExtender and use your internal Wi-Fi (AirPort) card, click “Turn Radio Off” on the “Link Status” tab. © 2013 BearExtender | Apple, Macintosh, and Airport are registered trademarks of Apple Inc. | FCC Notice Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the responsible party could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment. FCC Radiation Exposure Statement This equipment complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This transmitter must not be operated with any other antenna or transmitter and is designed for indoor use. This equipment should be placed a minimum of 20 centimeters from the human body when in use. The USB cable included with this product is 60 centimeters in length. This equipment complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. © 2013 BearExtender | Apple, Macintosh, and Airport are registered trademarks of Apple Inc. | Optimizing Performance Although BearExtender has a powerful transceiver and external antenna, you may still desire a stronger signal in certain environments. The primary culprit is interference. 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n and 802.11ac share radio frequencies with devices such as cordless phones, cellular phones and microwaves. Being in the proximity of any combination of these devices will result in interference. Solid concrete walls, large metallic appliances can also produce interference passively by deflecting Wi-Fi signals. If you are an RV or Marine user, try using BearExtender outside or above any large metal plating in your vehicle or boat. Aluminum and other metals reflect Wi-Fi signals. To minimize interference, try the following: Change BearExtender’s antenna position between horizontal and vertical. BearExtender’s antenna has unique sensing properties in the horizontal and vertical direction. By changing the angle of the antenna, you can direct BearExtender to focus on specific networks. Reposition yourself Move away from devices that may cause interference and thick solid walls that may reflect Wi-Fi signals. Change your Wireless Router’s broadcast channel. Wireless routers can communicate on different channels. Many wireless routers ship by default locked onto one channel. By changing your wireless router to broadcast on a less crowded channel, you can maximize speed and decrease interference. This usually fixes the problem if you are located in a high density area, such as a multi-level apartment building. Consult your wireless router’s manual for instructions. In general, changing the position of BearExtender’s antenna and relocating yourself should improve your connection. Troubleshooting If you need further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us. Step 1: Turn off AirPort (Wi-Fi) If your Mac has an internal Wi-Fi card, turn it off when using BearExtender. Step 2: Refresh Refresh your web browser a few times. If your Mac has been sleeping, BearExtender takes a few seconds to scan and re-connect. Step 3: Unplug and Restart Unplug the USB cable then restart your Mac and try again. Step 4: Remove Saved Networks If you have created any Favorite Networks, please delete them on th…
