Before You Begin
Before you can connect to the Internet with your new modem, you must:
1
Sign up for a mobile broadband service plan.
2
Slide the service provider's SIM card into your modem.
3
Optionally, attach the semi-rigid cable between your modem and your computer or 3G
router.
4
Install the modem on your computer or 3G router and make an Internet connection.
Step 1: Sign Up for a Mobile Broadband Service Plan
Most countries have one or more GSM service providers who offer mobile broadband service. When
you sign up for service, you will get a SIM card to slide into your modem. As you travel, you may
save money and get better coverage by using different service providers for different countries or
regions. Wherever you are, just make sure that you slide in the SIM for the service provider you
want to use.
Note: Your service provider might require that you enter specific information during the installation
to activate your service. That information, including the IMEI and serial number, is typically on the
inside of the removable back panel. Please see Figure A.
Step 2: Slide the Service Provider's SIM Card into Your Modem
To slide the SIM card into your modem, please follow these steps:
a
lide the back panel forward in the direction of the
Remove the USB connector cap and s
arrow at the top of the panel. The microSD memory and SIM card slots are now
exposed. (Figure A)

b
Hold the SIM card with its angled edge at upper left, then carefully slide the card
un
der the plastic bar on the open panel until the bottom of the card rests against the lower
groove. Do not push the card beyond the lower groove. (Figure B)
Tip: If you are also inserting a microSD memory card for your modem, you should
insert it before inserting the SIM card. The modem supports standard microSD
memory cards with 1G to 4G storage capacity. If the SIM card is already inserted,
remove it then insert the memory card.
c
Replace the back panel.
Step 3: Optionally, Attach the Semi-Rigid Cable between Your Modem
and Your Computer or 3G Router
Your product package includes a semi-rigid cable that you may want to use. The cable lets you:
•
Connect to a USB port that is so crowded that your modem can't plug in directly.
•
Orient the modem to improve the signal strength of its network connection. A vertical
modem position is usually ideal.
Step 4: Install the Modem on Your Computer or 3G Router, and Make an
Internet Connection
If you are using the modem with a computer, please go to the appropriate section for Windows or
Macintosh computers.
If you are using the modem with a 3G router, simply plug the modem or the modem attached to the
semi-rigid cable into the USB port of the router. Then power up the router. If the router is compatible
with the modem, it should work automatically. The modem's light will stay green when it's online.

This USB dongle complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device
may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.
This USB dongle has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the
FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee
that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct
to connect to
the interference by one or more of the following measures:
•
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
•
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
•
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
•
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to

CE Declaration of Conformity
This equipment complies with the requirements relating to electromagnetic compatibility, EN 55022/A1 Class B.
RF Exposure Information (SAR)
This device meets the government's requirements for exposure to radio waves.
This USB dongle is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF)
energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government.
The exposure standard for wireless device employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.
*
The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the
FCC with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is
determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the USB dongle while operating can be well below the
maximum value. This is because the device is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the poser
required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.
The highest SAR value for the device as reported to the FCC when tested for body, as described in this user guide, is 1.16
W/kg for GSM 850 band, 1.17 W/kg for GSM 1900 band, 0.909 W/kg for WCDMA band V , and 1.19 W/kg for WCDMA band
II.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various USB dongles and at various positions, they all meet the
government requirement.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance
, then
with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this device is on file with the FCC and can be found under the
Display Grant section of www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID: BDN3GM1073.
For body operation, this device has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines for use the positions the device
a minimum of 0.5 cm from the body. Use of other enhancements may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure
guidelines.
This USB dongle transmitter is approved for use in typical laptop computers. To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements,
this USB dongle should not be used in other devices or certain laptop and table computer configurations where the USB
connectors on the host computer are unable to provide or ensure the necessary operating configurations intended for the
device and its users or bystanders to satisfy RF exposure compliance requirements. This transmitter must not be collocated
or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
