Set up your Huawei E272 modem Before you can start using your new modem, you’ll need to set it up. You will need to have an activated Vodafone SIM card – this should have been provided when the modem was purchased. • Put the SIM card into the side of the modem. You should have been supplied with two data cables – one short and single-ended one, and one long and double-ended.
Run the software For Microsoft® Windows Vista™ (32/64 bit) or Windows® XP systems For other versions of Windows If you have an earlier version of Windows®, then you may need to select the start-up program using the file explorer: If your computer is running Microsoft Windows Vista or Windows XP, it should automatically start the driver setup process (your modem already contains the software needed). This could take a few minutes to complete. Then it will start the Vodafone Mobile Connect Lite software.
Configuration The software will then check with the modem that everything is OK, and then you’ll see the main window appear, with a Connect button enabled. The first time you run Vodafone Mobile Connect Lite, your modem will usually be set as the default device automatically. • A green tick will be displayed on top of the icon in the bottom right-hand corner of your screen. This indicates the modem is ready to connect.
Make a connection Your modem will also show the signal status using the LED light on the side: Simply click on the Connect button to open a data connection. The main window will now show your connection status and other information. Green double blinking: Power on, searching for network. You should now be able to use your usual web browser and email programs. Green blinking: A GPRS network has been found, and the modem is ready to connect.
Other settings You can customise the way the software operates using the menus. • In Settings you can select a new language, or whether you’d like the software to start automatically when Windows starts.
Use SMS Text Messaging and Contact Management With the Vodafone Mobile Connect Lite software you can receive and send SMS (Short Message Service) text messages to and from your computer. The program provides you with an easy way to view messages you have received, write new messages, and manage contact details for frequently-used SMS numbers. Send an SMS Click Vodafone SMS on the navigation bar – on the left-hand side of the main window – to open Vodafone SMS.
Receive an SMS When you receive an SMS while connected to the Vodafone network, a pop-up window will briefly appear at the bottom right-hand corner of the screen, allowing you to read the message and respond to it. The received message can also be read from the Inbox on the main Vodafone SMS window.
Manage SMS Contacts On the left-hand side of the Vodafone SMS window is the SMS navigation bar. Click Contacts on the SMS navigation bar to open the Contacts list, in which you can manage names and numbers that you use frequently. Clicking the New button on the SMS toolbar opens a new contact window. Enter the name and number of your contact, using the international format for the number, e.g. +447774477000.
