card slot, or through a separate 3G modem (not supplied - available from your
mobile Internet provider, check for compatibility).

Important: Please check the information provided by your mobile internet
provider. Not all options and settings described in this section will be
available, and different applications may be provided.

Installing a SIM card (only for Wi-Fi+3G models)

Certain tablets include a SIM slot for Internet access. To take full advantage of your
tablet’s Internet capabilities, you should install a SIM card with data subscription
before turning on your tablet.

1. Turn off the tablet by pressing and holding the power button.

2. Insert the SIM card as shown.

3. Replace the card slot cover.

Note: Ensure that the SIM card is inserted all the way into the card slot.

Caution: Turn off your tablet before installing or removing a SIM card. You may

damage the card or your tablet if power it still on.

Activating a new SIM card and PIN (3G models only)

If you are using a SIM card for the first time, it may require activation. Contact your
network operator for details on how to do this.

When you install a SIM card for the first time, you may need to enter a PIN.

29Installing a SIM card (only for Wi-Fi+3G models)

Important: Depending on your settings, you may be required to enter your PIN
each time you switch on the cellular data function.

SIM card lock

Your tablet may come with a SIM card lock, i.e., you will only be able to use the SIM
card provided by your network operator.

new SIM card. However, you may prefer to manually select a network. This is often a
good idea when roaming.

Tip: When you are traveling, manually selecting a network may help to reduce
your roaming charges. Check with your service provider for the network offering
the most competitive rates at your destination.

30

Disable data when roaming

networks.

2. Tap Data roaming to disable it (remove the green tick).

Limit your data connection to slower networks

If your tablet connects to 3G mobile networks, you can extend your battery life by
limiting your data connections to slower, 2G networks (GPRS or EDGE). When you
are connected to a 2G network, you may want to postpone activities that transmit a
lot of data, such as sending, uploading, or downloading pictures or video, until you
are connected to a faster mobile or other wireless network.

1. Tap APPS > Settings, then under WIRELESS & NETWORKS tap Mobile
networks.

2. Tap Use only 2G networks.

Creating a new access point

When you need to add another GPRS/3G/EDGE connection on your tablet, obtain

4. When you have finished tap Save.

5. If you want to use the new or edited APN, tap the APN in the list.

Important: Some providers and countries do not allow the use of a tablet as a
modem over HSDPA. Please check with your provider before attempting to do
so.

Internet sharing

Note: Internet sharing, or tethering, is not available on all networks. Check your
operator’s terms and conditions.

Tethering via USB
