Configuring the 3G/4G connection
The following steps describe how to configure the device for browsing the
Internet via a 3G/4G mobile 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. Insert the SIM card in the SIM slot and turn on the tablet.
Note
: it is recommended to disable the PIN code request (if enabled) of
the SIM card using 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/4G signal.
Note
: you can check the coverage with a last generation mobile phone or
smartphone (3G/4G LTE text should appear on display).
4. After switching on the tablet, wait about 2 minutes to allow the device to
recognize and configure the SIM card.
5. In the top right of the screen the mobile network icon will appear to indicate
the signal strength.
6. Enter the "Settings" > "Network & Internet" screen and tap on
Data usage
item.
7. In the "Data usage" screen switch
Mobile data
on to enable the mobile
data connection.
8. If necessary, go back to
Mobile network
screen
to setup
Preferred
network type
and
Access Point Names
(APN).
9. Check the correct APN contacting your mobile operator then select the
desired APN and wait a few seconds for new settings to be applied.
10. Once the configuration is completed, go to Home screen and open the
"Browser" app to verify that Internet connection is working properly.
These settings are to be made only at the first insertion of the SIM card. On
subsequent reboots of the device it will be configured automatically.
Before performing this procedure please contact the customer service of your
mobile network operator to check the correct APN and the compatibility of the
SIM for 3G/4G LTE network connection.
Sometimes it may be useful to reset the tablet to factory settings. For the
factory reset process, please refer to “Reset options” section of this manual.
