Using HP Mobile Broadband (select models only)
Your HP Mobile Broadband tablet has built-in support for mobile broadband service. Your new tablet,
when used with a mobile operator’s network, gives you the freedom to connect to the Internet, send
e-mail, or connect to your corporate network without the need for Wi-Fi hotspots.
NOTE: If your tablet includes HP Mobile Connect, the instructions in this section do not apply. See
Using HP Mobile Connect (select models only) on page 8 .
You may need the HP Mobile Broadband Module serial number (IMEI) to activate mobile broadband

about you, such as a personal identification number (PIN), as well as network information. Some
tablets include a SIM card that is preinstalled. If the SIM card 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 installing a SIM card, see
Installing a nano SIM card (select models only)
on page 9 .
