Charging is handled via a USB-C port with support for 18W charging, compatible with PD, QC, and PPS protocols.
A direct power supply mode allows the hotspot to run from a wall outlet or external power source, bypassing the internal battery to help preserve its lifespan.
On the front, a 1.44-inch touchscreen displays network information such as signal strength, remaining data, and battery level.
It also shows a QR code for quick Wi-Fi connections without needing a separate app.
