About the AirCard modem

TheAirCard®thirdgeneration(3G)wirelessmodemenables

youtoconnecttotheInternet,sendandreceiveemail,connect

viewstreamingvideo,withouttheneedforacable.

Dependingonthemodel,theAirCardmodemcanconnect

eithertoaPCMCIA(PCCard)slotoranExpressCard®slot

onyourcomputer.

Note: When using the AirCard modem with a PC Card adapter, use

only the PC Card adapter that came with your modem. Your modem

may not work properly with adapters that are not specifically designed

for your product.

IfthemodemisTRU‐Installenabled,alltherequired

softwareisavailableonthemodem.Whenyousetupyour

yourmodemmayincludeaninstallationCD.)

Services supported

Dependingonthemodel,yourmodemsupportsspeedsofup

to21Mbps(Megabitspersecond).However,actualspeed

dependsonnetworkconditionsandtheservicesthatyour

serviceprovideroffers.Contactyourserviceproviderandvisit

UMTS,HSDPA/HSUPA,andHSPA+are3Gdataservices.

Whenestablishingaconnection,yourmodemusesthefastest

availableservice.If,forexample,youareusingthemodemin

anareathathasEDGEservicebutnotUMTSorHSDPA/

HSUPAservice,themodemconnectsusingEDGEservice.

Oncetheconnectionisestablished,youhaveaccesstoall

Internetservices.

Your account and coverage area

IfyoupurchasedthemodemfromaGSMserviceprovider,

youmayalreadyhaveanaccountandaSIMcard.Otherwise,

yourretailershouldbeabletogiveyouthenamesof

companiesthatprovidetheseitems.

YoumusthaveanaccountwithaGSMserviceprovidertouse

themodem.Tousethemodem’s3Gcapability,youraccount

mustbewithaserviceproviderthatoffersHSDPA/HSUPAor

UMTSservice.(Themodemisbackwardscompatiblewith2G

service.)

Whenyouobtainyouraccount,youaregivenaSubscriber

IdentityModule(SIM)cardcontainingaccountinformation.

Beforeyouusethemodem,youmustinserttheSIMcardinto

it.(Dependingonyourserviceprovider,theSIMcardmay

alreadybeinserted.)

Yourabilitytoobtainservicedependsonthesefactors:

Note: The fee for service is

usually higher when you are

roaming (connected to a network

other than the one belonging to

your service provider).

•Networkcoverage — Youmustbewithinthenetwork

coveragearea.

•Serviceprovider — Ifyouarewithinthecoverageareaof

anetworkthatisnotoperatedbyyourownservice

provider,youcanobtainserviceonlyifthereisaroaming

agreementbetweenyourserviceproviderandthenetwork

operator.

•Accountprovisions — Youraccountmayrestrictyour

usagetocertainnetworksorlimittheamountoftimeyou

canusethenetwork.

•Frequencyband — Youcannotconnecttonetworks

operatinginbandsnotsupportedbyyourmodem,

regardlessofroamingagreementsoraccountprovisions.
