Prompt on USB connection: Check this box for a prompt to display on the MiFi screen when a device connects via USB. The prompt allows selection of the USB mode of connection.

Allow settings changes from the touchscreen: Use the on/off slider to allow or disallow configuration of settings on the MiFi touchscreen.

Allow factory reset from the touchscreen: Use the on/off slider to allow or disallow factory reset from the MiFi Reset button and touchscreen (Settings > Factory Reset). If on, factory reset is allowed from the MiFi Reset button and touchscreen. This resets all settings to factory default settings and disconnects all connected devices.

Turn on battery preservation mode**: Battery Preservation Mode is enabled by default. When enabled, Battery Preservation Mode is automatically activated after an extended period of approximately 16 hours of continuous power charge and maintains a battery charge level between 70% and 80%***. This helps prevent overcharging and aids in preserving the integrity of your battery.

Battery Preservation Mode is strongly recommended if you frequently charge your device for extended periods of time.
