Some mobile network operators require the use of a SIM. A SIM contains basic information about

you, such as a personal identification number (PIN), as well as network information. Some computers

include a SIM that is preinstalled in the battery bay. If the SIM is not preinstalled, it may be provided

in the HP Mobile Broadband information provided with your computer or the mobile network operator

may provide it separately from the computer.
For information about inserting and removing the SIM, see

Inserting and removing a SIM

on page 20

in this chapter.

For information about HP Mobile Broadband and how to activate service with a preferred mobile

network operator, see the HP Mobile Broadband information included with your computer.
