Operating Your Computer 2-27
Using the 3G Feature
3G is the third generation of mobile phone standards and technology
after 2G. Services include wide-area wireless voice telephony and
broadband wireless data, all in a mobile environment.
Unlike IEEE 802.11 networks, 3G networks are “wide area cellular
telephone networks” which evolved to incorporate high-speed internet
access and video telephony. IEEE 802.11 networks are short range,
high-bandwidth networks primarily developed for data.
NOTE: Your model only supports data transmission, voice transmission is not
supported.
Installing a SIM Card
To use the 3G feature to connect to the Internet, you need to subscribe to
3G service and acquire a SIM card from the service provider. To install the
SIM card, follow these steps:
1. Turn off the computer and disconnect the AC adapter.
2. Open the battery door.
3. Insert the SIM card into the holder. Make sure the beveled corner on
the SIM card is facing outward and that the golden contact area on
the card is facing upwards.
NOTE: To remove the SIM card, push inward to release and slide the SIM card
out of the slot.
