Using HP Mobile Broadband (select models only)
NOTE:
For optimized WWAN performance, it is highly recommended that the case that came with
this device is used when the WWAN is turned on.
HP Mobile Broadband enables your Slate to use wireless wide area networks (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, which in most cases is a mobile phone network
provider.
When used with mobile network provider 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.
NOTE:
You may need the HP Mobile Broadband Module serial number to activate mobile
for the location of the serial number label.
Some mobile network service providers require the use of a subscriber identity module (SIM). A SIM
contains basic information about you or your Slate, such as a personal identification number (PIN), as
well as network information. Some Slates include a preinstalled SIM. If the SIM is not preinstalled, it
may be included with the HP Mobile Broadband information provided with your Slate, or it may be
provided separately by the mobile network service provider.
For information on inserting and removing the SIM, refer to

For additional information on HP Mobile Broadband and how to activate service with a preferred
mobile network service provider, refer to the HP Mobile Broadband information if it is included with
your Slate. For additional information, see the HP Web site
(U.S. only).
