SIM card lock
Your tablet may come with a SIM card lock, i.e., you will only be able to use the SIM
card provided by your network operator.
To cancel the SIM lock, contact your network provider.
Note: If you need to turn the 3G network on or off see "Putting your tablet in
Airplane mode" on page 62 and "Activating or deactivating connections" on
page 61.
Adjusting connection settings
To manage your connection settings, tap APPS > Settings, then under WIRELESS
& NETWORKS select the option you want to change.
In addition to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth options, if your tablet includes 3G features, some
additional options are available:
* If available on your network.
Mobile Internet settings
Tap APPS > Settings, then under WIRELESS & NETWORKS tap Mobile
networks to adjust your network settings. You can turn data connection on or off
when roaming, restrict the connection to 2G networks only, specify a network
operator and define access point names.
Selecting a network
Your tablet will automatically detect your carrier/network settings when you insert a
new SIM card. However, you may prefer to manually select a network. This is often
a good idea when roaming.
Tip: When you are traveling, manually selecting a network may help to reduce
your roaming charges. Check with your service provider for the network offering
the most competitive rates at your destination.
