Install the connection manager
You may need administrator rights for the operating system, and you may also need
to set your operating system firewall to allow the device to access the internet.
1 Remove the cap.
2 Make sure the SIM card is inserted in the device.
3 Switch your computer on, and connect the device to the USB port in the computer.
4 If the installation doesn't start automatically, use your computer’s file browser
to locate the USB modem drive, and select the setup file on your device.
The installation may take several minutes.
5 If prompted, enter the PIN code of your SIM card. The PIN code helps to protect
your SIM card against unauthorised use and is usually supplied with the card.
Disconnect the device
Disconnect the device from the USB port. You may need to stop the device before
disconnecting it, if this is required by your operating system.
Uninstall from your computer
•In Windows, select the uninstall application from the Start menu.
•In Mac OS, select the uninstall icon in the application folder.
•In Linux, use the package manager.
Internet connection
Connect to the internet
For the availability of data services, pricing, and tariffs, contact your service provider.
1 Connect the device to the computer.
2 If the connection manager application does not open automatically:
•In Windows, select the application from the desktop or Start menu.
•In Mac OS, select the application from the Finder.
•In Linux, select Applications > Internet and the application.
3 If prompted, enter the PIN code of your SIM card.
4 Check the network indicator light to see if a network connection is available.
5 To connect to the internet through a cellular network, select .
If your product has the Wi-Fi feature, to use a Wi-Fi network, select Network list
and the desired network. The indicator beside the network name displays the
signal strength of the network. If a padlock is displayed beside the name, the
network is protected and you need to enter a password.

6 Use the internet as normal.
7 To close the connection, in the Internet connection window, select . The
connection also closes if you close the connection manager application.
Note: Using Wi-Fi may be restricted in some countries. For example, in France, you
are only allowed to use Wi-Fi indoors. For more information, contact your local
authorities.
Tip: While browsing the web, you can check the duration and amount of data sent and
received in the Internet connection window.
If the computer enters standby or hibernation mode, data transfer may stop.
Transferring data increases the demand on computer battery power and reduces the
battery life.

products at www.nokia.com/werecycle.
Additional safety information
This product may contain small parts. Keep them out of the reach of small children.
Medical devices
Operation of radio transmitting equipment, including wireless phones, may interfere with the function of inadequately
protected medical devices. Consult a physician or the manufacturer of the medical device to determine whether they are
adequately shielded from external radio frequency energy.
Implanted medical devices
Manufacturers of medical devices recommend a minimum separation of 15.3 centimetres (6 inches) between a wireless
device and an implanted medical device, such as a pacemaker or implanted cardioverter defibrillator, to avoid potential
interference with the medical device. Persons who have such devices should:
•Always keep the wireless device more than 15.3 centimetres (6 inches) from the medical device.
•Turn the wireless device off if there is any reason to suspect that interference is taking place.
•Follow the manufacturer directions for the implanted medical device.
If you have any questions about using your wireless device with an implanted medical device, consult your health care
provider.
Hearing
Some wireless devices may interfere with some hearing aids.
Operating environment
This device model has been tested and meets RF exposure guidelines when positioned at least 0.5 centimetre (1/5 inch)
away from the body when plugged directly into a USB port on the host device or used at the end of a connectivity cable that
may be supplied in the sales package.
Vehicles
Radio signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles such as
electronic fuel injection, electronic antilock braking, electronic speed control, and air bag systems. For more information,
check with the manufacturer of your vehicle or its equipment.
Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases, or explosive materials in the same compartment as the device, its parts, or
accessories. Remember that air bags inflate with great force. Do not place your device or accessories in the air bag
deployment area.
8English

Potentially explosive environments
Switch off your device in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere, for example near gas pumps at service stations.
Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or death. Observe restrictions in fuel service
stations, storage, and distribution areas; chemical plants; or where blasting operations are in progress. Areas with a
potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. They include areas where you would be advised
to turn off your vehicle engine, below deck on boats, chemical transfer or storage facilities and where the air contains
chemicals or particles such as grain, dust, or metal powders. You should check with the manufacturers of vehicles using
liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane) to determine if this device can be safely used in their vicinity.
Certification information (SAR)
This device model meets guidelines for exposure to radio waves.
Your device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves
recommended by international guidelines. These guidelines were developed by the independent scientific organisation
ICNIRP and include safety margins designed to assure the protection of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure guidelines employ a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate or SAR. The SAR limit stated
in the ICNIRP guidelines is 2.0 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over ten grams of tissue. Tests for SAR are conducted using
standard operating positions with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands.
The actual SAR level of an operating device can be below the maximum value because the device is designed to use only the
power required to reach the network. That amount changes depending on a number of factors such as how close you are
to a network base station.
SAR values may vary depending on national reporting and testing requirements and the network band. Additional SAR
information may be provided under product information at www.nokia.com
This device model has been tested and meets RF exposure guidelines when positioned at least 0.5 centimetre (1/5 inch)
away from the body when plugged directly into a USB port on the host device or used at the end of a connectivity cable that
