Is this right?
Mine only works plugged into the mains.

Is there a user manual? *Probably a PDF file on a CD. *If there really is
a battery, perhaps it takes time to get charged up - and goes flat
rapidly. *Powering the 'mobile broadband' dongle and the router
(essentially a small computer) and the WiFi stuff, sounds like a fairly
heavy load for a small battery pack. *950mAh isn't actually very much
capacity - there are AAA NiMH cells that claim 1000mAh.

Many re-chargeable gadgets require a 24 hour 'soak' charge before being
take into use, to get the battery 'conditioned'.

No mention of a battery here

The maker's own site is not very forthcoming
http://www.huawei.com/mobileweb/en/products/view.do?id=1180&pageId=null
but the 'in use' pictures don't show a mains lead.

Even without a built-in battery, it looks like a useful gadget. *You may
be able to run it from an external battery pack.

Same issue for me. I've tried a soak charge 24 hours but not a
glimmer without the charger.
Also can't find a manual either from Huawei or Three. Doesn't give
any spec info in the box.
