Wireless Wide Area Network
(WWAN) Getting Started Guide
Congratulations on your purchase of a Fujitsu LIFEBOOK® Tablet PC in Wireless Wide Area Network (WWAN) or
WWAN-ready configuration.
This document first instructs you on how to determine whether there is a WWAN module already installed in
your system. If you do not have a WWAN module installed (i.e., your system is “WWAN-ready”), you will learn
how to order and install a module, and (for AT&T customers) how to install and activate a SIM card.
Verifying whether you have a WWAN module installed
Launch the Fujitsu Bonus Apps icon on the desktop. If Fujitsu Bonus Apps include a WWAN driver in blue, it
indicates that your system is WWAN-ready, but there is no WWAN module; if the WWAN driver is grayed out,
it indicates that the WWAN module is already installed. In both cases, Sierra AirCard Watcher will need to be
installed from Fujitsu Bonus Apps. For some models, the WWAN driver will not appear in Fujitsu Bonus Apps.
If only Sierra AirCard Watcher appears, then your system has WWAN module installed already. Proceed to
install Sierra AirCard Watcher.
If you have a WWAN module installed in your system, it is not necessary for you to complete the rest of this
procedure; please proceed to the “Installing Sierra AirCard Watcher” section on page 3 before connecting your
device.
If you don’t have a WWAN module installed in your system, please continue with the rest of this procedure.
Obtaining a WWAN module for your system
To obtain a WWAN module for your WWAN-ready system, go to the Fujitsu online store at:
http://store.shopfujitsu.com/fpc/Ecommerce/accstore.jsp
On this page choose Wireless WAN and then choose WWAN Module (Gobi3000).
SPECIFIC WWAN MODULE/S ARE TESTED WITH THIS COMPUTER FOR COMPLIANCE WITH FCC REGULATIONS. THESE WWAN
MODULE/S ARE FUJITSU-SPECIFIC AND ONLY THE WWAN MODULE/S SHOWN IN THE FOLLOWING LINKS ARE AUTHENTICATED
TO WORK IN THIS COMPUTER. WWAN MODULES OBTAINED FROM ANY OTHER SOURCE WILL NOT WORK IN THIS COM-
PUTER. YOU ARE STRONGLY ADVISED TO ORDER YOUR WWAN MODULE FROM A FUJITSU-AUTHORIZED SOURCE. IN THE
EVENT YOU INSTALL A WWAN MODULE THAT HAS NOT BEEN AUTHORIZED BY FUJITSU, FUJITSU ASSUMES NO RESPONSIBILITY
FOR DAMAGES TO THE DEVICE OR YOUR COMPUTER THAT MAY RESULT FROM ITS INSTALLATION.
Installing a WWAN module in a WWAN-ready system
If you have a WWAN-ready system, and you would like to install a WWAN module, there are two different
things that could occur when you install the WWAN driver from Fujitsu Bonus Apps.
If you don’t have a WWAN module installed yet:
Fujitsu Bonus Apps will display a message telling you that the "WWAN Driver was not installed: Optional
device is not detected”.
If you want to install a WWAN module at a later date:
Install the WWAN driver from Fujitsu Bonus Apps by launching the "Fujitsu Bonus Apps" desktop icon, selecting WWAN driver (should be highlighted in blue), and pressing the [Install] button.

Procedure
For location of components listed below, reference your system user guide.
The system contains components that can be severely damaged by electrostatic discharge
(ESD). To minimize risk to components, observe the following precautions:
•B
EFORE CHANGING COMPONENTS IN YOUR SYSTEM, IT IS A GOOD PRACTICE TO FIRST TOUCH A GROUNDED
METAL OBJECT TO DISCHARGE STATIC ELECTRICITY BUILT UP IN YOUR BODY.
•B
E SURE TO POWER DOWN YOUR SYSTEM BEFORE ADDING OR REMOVING SYSTEM COMPONENTS. EVEN IF THE
SYSTEM IS IN HIBERNATE STATES, DATA COULD BE LOST OR MEMORY COULD BE DAMAGED IF POWER IS STILL
AVAILABLE TO THE SYSTEM.
•W
HEN INSTALLING OR REMOVING A MODULE, HOLD IT BY THE EDGE SO AS NOT TO TOUCH ANY CONTACTS OR
CHIPS. BE CAREFUL NOT TO TOUCH ANY INTERNAL TERMINALS OR COMPONENTS; THE OIL FROM YOUR FIN-
GERS COULD CAUSE A SHORT TO THE COMPONENTS.
1. Turn off the power to your notebook and unplug the power adapter.
2. Turn the unit bottom side up and remove the battery.
3. Using a Philips #0 screwdriver,
remove the screw that is securing
the WWAN cover. (See Fig. 1). Lift
and remove the cover.
4. Locate the module attachment
standoff to which the WWAN
module will be attached (Fig. 2).
5. Holding the module with the
label side up, align the connector
edge of the module with the mini
card connector slot in the compartment (the card and connector are both keyed so that there is
only one way to install it).
Figure 1. Removing WWAN cover
6. Insert the module at a 45° angle. Press the module edge down so that it lies flat. The hole in the module should be aligned over the hole in the attachment standoff.
7. Insert the screw that was contained in the Wireless WAN Upgrade Kit through the module and secure it
to the module attachment standoff.
