Do not touch the printed circuit on the micro SIM card.
Be sure to hold your VAIO computer firmly before removing the micro SIM card.
Do not damage the micro SIM card in any way, either by bending or exerting pressure on the card.
Before Using the Wireless WAN (Wireless WAN equipped models)
A Wide Area Network (WAN) is a widespread communications network that makes it possible to connect local computer networks in remote locations together, and it is often available with communication facilities provided by carriers, such as telecom operators.
Using the wireless WAN (WWAN) allows your VAIO computer to connect to the Internet through the wireless network wherever there is mobile phone coverage.
Depending on your country and model, you may need to insert a micro SIM card into the micro SIM card holder or slot on the computer to use the wireless WAN function.
Note
The wireless WAN may not be available in some countries and regions.
Use of certain features and apps may require access to the Internet with the wireless WAN function. You may incur data connection charges while your VAIO computer is connected to the Internet. Contact your wireless service provider for more information.
Hint
Depending on your country and model, you might receive an offer from a VAIO selected carrier. In that case the micro SIM card is either in the carrier’s SIM pack inside the carton box or already inserted in the micro SIM card holder or slot. If the micro SIM card is not provided with your VAIO computer, you can purchase one from your preferred carrier.
