HP EliteBook 840 G3 - Manual (Page 29)

You may need the HP Mobile Broadband Module serial number to activate mobile broadband service. The
serial number is printed on a label inside the battery bay, under the removable service door, or on the back of
the display.
Some mobile network operators require the use of a SIM card. A SIM card contains basic information about
you, such as a personal identification number (PIN), as well as network information. Some computers include
a SIM card that is preinstalled. If the SIM card 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.
Before you can use the mobile broadband capability of your computer, you must complete the following
steps:
1. Activate mobile broadband data service. To do this, use a compatible activated SIM card from your
service provider.
2. With the computer off, insert the activated SIM card into the SIM slot of the computer. See Inserting and
removing a SIM card on page 19 .
3. Turn on your computer and wait for Windows to load completely.
4. Set up a mobile broadband connection using the HP Connection Manager software or the built-in
Windows connection management software.
