Handle and dispose of devices with care  
•
Never dispose of the device in a fire. Follow all local regulations  
when disposing used devices.  
•
Never place your device on or in heating devices, such as  
microwave ovens, stoves, or radiators. Devices may explode when

Turn off the device in potentially explosive  
environments  
Do not use your device at refuelling points (service stations) or near  
fuels or chemicals. Turn off your device whenever directed by warning  
signs or instructions. The device could cause explosions or fire in and  
around fuel or chemical storage and transfer areas or blasting areas.

Protect the device from damage  
Avoid exposing devices to very cold or very hot temperatures (below  
0° C/32° F or above 45° C/113° F). Extreme temperatures can reduce  
the charging capacity and life of your devices.  
Handle your device carefully and sensibly  
•
Do not allow your device to get wet—liquids can cause serious

to your device can void your manufacturer’s warranty.  
Avoid using or storing your device in dusty, dirty areas to prevent  
damage to moving parts.  
Your device is a complex electronic device—protect it from impacts  
and rough handling to avoid serious damage.  
Do not paint your device, as paint can clog moving parts and  
prevent proper operation.  
Your device and memory cards may be damaged by exposure to  
magnetic fields. Do not use carrying cases or accessories with  
magnetic closures or allow your device to come in contact with  
magnetic fields for extended periods of time.  
•

•
•
Avoid interference with other electronic devices  
Your device emits radio frequency (RF) signals that may interfere with  
unshielded or improperly shielded electronic equipment, such as  
pacemakers, hearing aids, medical devices, and other electronic  
devices in homes or vehicles. Consult the manufacturers of your  
electronic devices to solve any interference problems you experience.

information, as this could result in loss of data and/or damage to the  
card or device.  
•
•
•
Protect cards from strong shocks, static electricity, and electrical  
noise from other devices.  
Frequent writing and erasing will shorten the life span of memory  
cards.  
Do not touch gold-colored contacts or terminals with your fingers or  
metal objects. If dirty, wipe the card with a soft cloth.

procedures before contacting a service professional.  
Frequently asked questions  
About the device and services  
What is HSDPA?  
HSDPA, short for High-Speed Downlink Packet Access, is a new  
protocol for mobile phone data transmission. This 3.5G technology  
allows for faster data transmission and streaming connections.  
Will my dongle work without a USIM card?  
No. You must insert a USIM card to use the dongle.  
 
29  
     
Is it okay to insert another type of USIM card when using the  
dongle?  
No. The dongle only works with the USIM card provided by your  
service provider. It will not work with other USIM cards.  
Why do I get a slow connection while I am using HSDPA?  
HSDPA is a shared data service. You may experience slower  
connections when several users in the same area are accessing the  
HSDPA service.  
Why won’t my computer recognise my USB devices when I plug  
two of them together?  
The computer cannot recognise two devices at the same time.  
Connect and disconnect USB device one at a time.  
Can I connect the dongle to a printer or fax?  
You must connect the dongle to a PC. Then, you can use a printer or  
fax that is also connected to the PC.  
Will the dongle work with my PC operating system?  
The dongle will work on Windows 2000/XP/Vista.  
 
30  
About the connection manager program  
Will I still receive messages when the modem is offline?  
Yes, but you cannot view those messages until you reconnect the  
modem. When you connect the modem to your PC, you can view any  
messages that have been received within the last 24 hours.  
The program disappeared while I was using it.  
You may have accidentally minimised or closed the program. If your  
taskbar shows the HSDPA Connection Manager icon, double-click it to  
restore the program. Otherwise, launch the program again.  
How can I avoid losing the data on my USIM card?  
If you disconnect the dongle from your PC while the device is on, you  
may lose the data on your USIM card. First, exit the connection  
manager program, then check the status light on the dongle. If the light  
is off, it is safe to disconnect it from the PC.  
I entered the wrong PIN a few times. Why can't I use my device  
anymore?  
If you enter the wrong PIN three times, your USIM card locks  
automatically. To unlock the card, you must enter a PUK, which you  
can get from your service provider.  
If you enter the wrong PUK ten times, the USIM card will no  
longer work.  
 
31  
 
Can I connect to the Internet using Dial-up Networking?  
No. You must use a wireless connection to access the Internet.  
How many messages or contacts can I save on my USIM card?  
The number of messages or contacts you can save depends on the  
type of USIM card you use. When the card's memory is full, new  
messages or contacts will be saved on your PC.  
Can I make voice calls with the connection manager program?  
No. The connection manager program does not support voice calls.  
Can I use SIM Application Toolkit menus?  
No. The connection manager program and the dongle do not support  
SIM Application Toolkit menu.  
Can I register my USIM card using a configuration message?  
No. You cannot register your USIM card using a configuration  
message.
