NOTE: The functional range (how far your wireless signals travel) depends on WLAN implementation, router manufacturer, and interference from other electronic devices or structural barriers such as walls and floors.

Using HP Mobile Broadband (select models only)

HP Mobile Broadband enables your tablet to use WWANs to access the Internet from more places and over larger areas than it can by using WLANs. Using HP Mobile Broadband requires a network service provider (called a mobile network operator), which in most cases is a cellular phone network operator. Coverage for HP Mobile Broadband is similar to cellular phone voice coverage.

When used with mobile network operator service, HP Mobile Broadband gives you the freedom to stay connected to the Internet, send email, or connect to your corporate network whether you are on the road or outside the range of Wi-Fi hotspots.

HP supports the following technologies:

HSPA (High Speed Packet Access), which provides access to networks based on the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) telecommunications standard.

EV-DO (Evolution Data Optimized), which provides access to networks based on the code division multiple access (CDMA) telecommunications standard.

You may need the HP Mobile Broadband Module serial number to activate mobile broadband service. The serial number is etched on the rear of your tablet.

Some mobile network operators require the use of a SIM. A SIM contains basic information about you, such as a personal identification number (PIN), as well as network information. Some tablets include a SIM that is preinstalled. If the SIM is not preinstalled, it may be provided in the HP Mobile Broadband information provided with your tablet, or the mobile network operator may provide it separately from the tablet.

For information about inserting and removing the SIM, see the Inserting and removing a SIM on page 14 section in this chapter.

For information about HP Mobile Broadband and how to activate service with a preferred mobile network operator, see the HP Mobile Broadband information included with your tablet. For additional information, see the HP website at http://www.hp.com/go/mobilebroadband (select regions/countries only).

Inserting and removing a SIM

CAUTION: To prevent damage to the connectors, use minimal force when inserting a SIM.

To insert or remove a SIM, follow these steps:

1.Shut down the tablet.

2.Disconnect all external devices connected to the tablet.

3.Unplug the power cord from the AC outlet.
