Q: How will the user know if their MiFi 2200 activation was successful?
A When you power on your device the first time there may be a 30 second pause before
going to intermittent blinking. This is due to the MiFi 2200 supporting hands-free
activation. No intervention is required on the user’s part. If activation is successful,
when the user goes to the MiFi 2200’s web browser it should sate “activated” at the top
of the page. If it states “not activated”, please see Troubleshooting Guide for this
device.
