Using Bluetooth wireless devices
A Bluetooth device provides short-range wireless communications that replace the physical cable connections
that traditionally link electronic devices such as the following:
●
Computers (desktop, notebook, PDA)
●
Phones (cellular, cordless, smart phone)
●
Imaging devices (printer, camera)
●
Audio devices (headset, speakers)
●
Mouse
Bluetooth devices provide peer-to-peer capability that allows you to set up a personal area network (PAN) of
Bluetooth devices. For information about configuring and using Bluetooth devices, see the Bluetooth
software Help.
Using HP Mobile Broadband (select models only)
HP Mobile Broadband enables your tablet to use 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 cellular phone network operator. Coverage for HP
Mobile Broadband is similar to cellular phone voice coverage.
If your tablet has HP Mobile Broadband, it is also equipped with Global Positioning System (GPS) functionality.
GPS satellites deliver location, speed, and direction information to GPS-equipped systems.
When used with mobile network operator service, HP Mobile Broadband gives you the freedom to stay
connected to the Internet, send email, 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.
●
LTE (Long Term Evolution), which provides access to networks supporting LTE technology.
You may need the HP Mobile Broadband Module serial number to activate mobile broadband service.
Some mobile network operators require the use of a SIM. A SIM contains basic information about you, such as
a personal identification number (PIN), as well as network information. Some tablets include a SIM that is
preinstalled. If the SIM is not preinstalled, it may be provided in the HP Mobile Broadband information
provided with your tablet, or the mobile network operator may provide it separately from the tablet.
For information about inserting and removing the SIM, see
Inserting and removing a micro SIM or microSD
card on page 16
in this chapter.
For information about HP Mobile Broadband and how to activate service with a preferred mobile network
operator, see the HP Mobile Broadband information included with your tablet.
