Everyday Basics
After you install the MobiLinkTM software and set up your Novatel
Wireless Broadband device for firsttime use, it’s time to get down to
the everyday basics. The following steps provide a roadmap of typical
usage activities. Use it as a guide and customize it according to your
needs.
1Start MobiLink.
MobiLink is the communications software you use to
connect to the cellular network and to send and to
receive SMS.
Doubleclick the MobiLink icon on your desktop
to start the application.
The LED on your device will display a solid green light
while it searches for available networks.
When a network is found and attached to, the light on the
LED will begin to flash green. The message on the MobiLink
control panel will change to “Ready”.
You’ll find a complete list of LED colors and related states
on page 37.
Want to have MobiLink start automatically each time you
start your computer? See page 11 for instructions.

2Send or receive SMS.
Once you are attached to a cellular network, you can send
and receive SMS*. Check the envelope icon on the MobiLink
control panel. It will appear blue when SMS is available and
gray when it is not.
Click the envelope icon on the MobiLink control panel to
send and receive SMS.
Need more information? See page 13.

network.

connect to the network.
