Your account and coverage area

Note: If you purchased the

AirCard modem from a GSM

service provider, you may

already have an account.

Otherwise, your retailer should

be able to provide you with the

names of companies that

provide this service.

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

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

accountmustbewithaserviceproviderwhooffersHSDPA/

HSUPAorUMTSservice.(TheAirCardmodemisbackward‐

compatibleto2Gservice.)

Whenyouobtainyouraccount,youaregivenaSIMcard,also

calleda“smartcard”or“smartchip”.(Dependingonhowyou

purchasedyourAirCardmodem,youmayalreadyhavean

account,andyourSIMcardmayhavebeenincludedinyour

package.)TheSIMcardcontainsaccountinformationand

mustbeinsertedintheAirCardmodemanytimeyouuseit.

BeforeyoucanusetheAirCardmodem,youmustinstallthe

AirCardmodemsoftwareandensurethatyourAirCard

modemisconfiguredtouseyouraccount.

OncetheAirCardmodemisinstalledandconfigured,youcan

connecttotheInternetwiththeAirCardmodeminanyareain

whichyoucanobtainGPRS,EDGE,UMTS,orHSDPA/

HSUPAservice.

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).

•ProximitytoaGSMnetwork—Youmustbewithinthe

coverageareaofaGSMnetworkinordertousethe

AirCardmodem.

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

networkthatisnotoperatedbyyourownserviceprovider,

youcanonlyobtainservice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
