Using HP Mobile Broadband (select models only)

HP Mobile Broadband enables your computer to use wireless wide area networks (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 mobile phone network operator. Coverage for HP Mobile Broadband is similar to

mobile phone voice coverage.

When used with mobile network operator service, HP Mobile Broadband gives you the freedom to

stay connected to the Internet, send e-mail, 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 printed on a label inside the battery bay of your computer.

Some mobile network operators require the use of a subscriber identity module (SIM). A SIM contains

basic information about you, such as a PIN, as well as network information. Some computers include

a SIM that is preinstalled in the battery bay. If the SIM is not preinstalled, it may be provided in the HP

Mobile Broadband information provided with your computer or the mobile network operator may

provide it separately from the computer.

For information on inserting and removing the SIM, refer to the “Inserting a SIM” and “Removing a

SIM” sections in this chapter.

For information on HP Mobile Broadband and how to activate service with a preferred mobile network

operator, refer to the mobile broadband information included with your computer. For additional

information, see the HP Web site at

Inserting a SIM

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

To insert a SIM:

1. Shut down the computer. If you are not sure whether the computer is off or in Hibernation, turn

the computer on by sliding the power switch to the right. Then, shut down the computer through

the operating system.

2. Close the display.

3. Disconnect all external devices connected to the computer.

4. Unplug the power cord from the AC outlet.

5. Turn the computer upside down on a flat surface, with the battery bay toward you.

6. Remove the battery.
