Connecting to a WLAN
To connect to the WLAN, follow these steps:
1. Be sure that the WLAN device is on.
2. From the Windows desktop, tap the network status icon in the notification area, at the far right of
the taskbar.
3. Select your WLAN from the list.
4. Tap Connect.
If the WLAN is a security-enabled WLAN, you are prompted to enter a security code. Type the
code, and then tap OK to complete the connection.
NOTE: If no WLANs are listed, you may be out of range of a wireless router or access point.
NOTE: If you do not see the WLAN you want to connect to, from the Windows desktop, tap
and hold the network status icon, and then select Open Network and Sharing Center. Tap Set
up a new connection or network. A list of options is displayed, allowing you to manually
search for and connect to a network or to create a new network connection.
5. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the connection.
After the connection is made, point over the network status icon in the notification area, at the far right
of the taskbar, to verify the name and status of the connection.
NOTE: The functional range (how far your wireless signals travel) depends on WLAN
implementation, router manufacturer, and interference from other electronic devices or structural
barriers such as walls and floors.
Using HP Mobile Broadband (select models only)
HP Mobile Broadband enables your tablet to use WWANs to access the Internet from more places
and over larger areas than it can by using WLANs. Using HP Mobile Broadband requires a network
service provider (called a mobile network operator), which in most cases is a cellular phone network
operator. Coverage for HP Mobile Broadband is similar to cellular phone voice coverage.
When used with mobile network operator service, HP Mobile Broadband gives you the freedom to
stay connected to the Internet, send email, or connect to your corporate network whether you are on
the road or outside the range of Wi-Fi hotspots.
HP supports the following technologies:
● HSPA (High Speed Packet Access), which provides access to networks based on the Global
System for Mobile Communications (GSM) telecommunications standard.
● EV-DO (Evolution Data Optimized), which provides access to networks based on the code
division multiple access (CDMA) telecommunications standard.
● LTE (Long Term Evolution), which provides access to networks supporting LTE technology.
You might need the HP Mobile Broadband Module IMEI and/or MEID number to activate mobile
broadband service.The serial number and product number are located on the bottom edge and/or the
back of your tablet.
Some mobile network operators require the use of a subscriber identity module (SIM). A SIM contains
basic information about you, such as a personal identification number (PIN), as well as network
information. If the SIM is not preinstalled, it may be provided in the HP Mobile Broadband information
provided with your tablet or the mobile network operator may provide it separately from the tablet.
