Operating Your Computer 2-29
Using the 3G Feature (Optional)
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. Remove the battery pack. (See “Replacing the Battery Pack” in Chapter 3
for instructions.)
3. Insert the SIM card into the holder. Make sure the golden contact area
on the card is facing upward and the beveled corner on the SIM card
facing outward.
NOTE: To remove the SIM card, push inward to release and slide the SIM
card out of the slot.
