Configuring the 3G connection
The following steps describe how to configure the device for browsing the
Internet via a 3G connection.
Before proceeding to the following configuration please check that the charge
of the battery is at least 50%.
1. Turn off Wi-Fi and turn off the Tablet.
2. Enter the phone card (SIM) in the SIM slot and turn on the Tablet.
Note
: it is recommended to turn off the SIM card PIN code request via a
mobile phone or smartphone before insertion.
3. For the first connection, make sure to be in an area with good coverage of
the 3G signal.
Note
: You can check the coverage with a last generation mobile phone or
smartphone (3G symbol should appear on display).
4. After switching on the tablet, wait about 2 minutes to allow the device to be
configured for the SIM card.
5. In the lower right of the screen the 3G icon will appear to indicate the signal
strength.
6. Enter the "Settings" screen and under "Wireless & Networks" select
"More..." and then "Mobile networks".
7. On the "Mobile networks settings" screen verify that the "Modem power"
option is enabled. If not turn it on and go back to step 2.
8. Open the "Access Point Names" to view the list of APNs (Access Point
Name) provided by your mobile operator (check the correct APN with your
mobile operator).
9. Select the desired APN and wait a few seconds. In presence of 3G
coverage the icon in the lower right will turn blue.
