Connecting to mobile networks
When you assemble your tablet with a SIM card from your wireless service
provider, your tablet is configured to use your provider’s mobile networks
for transmitting data.
Your tablet is configured to work with many mobile carriers’ networks. If
your tablet does not connect to a network when you insert a SIM card and
turn it on, contact your carrier to obtain the details of its access point name.
Disabling data when roaming
1. Open the Settings screen.
2. Tap Wireless & networks → Mobile networks, and uncheck Data
roaming.
With Data roaming unchecked, you can still transmit data with a Wi-Fi
connection.
Editing or creating a new access point
If you and your wireless service provider determine that you need to
change the settings of your current access point name (APN) or to create a
new one, you must obtain the APN and detailed settings from your provider.
1. Open the Settings screen.
2. Tap Wireless & networks → Mobile networks → Access Point
Names.
3. Tap an existing APN to edit it, or tap New APN to create a new one.
Enter the APN settings that you obtained from your wireless service
provider by tapping each setting that you need to edit.
4. When you finished, tap Save.
If you have created a new APN, tap it in the APNs screen to start using
it.
Connecting to Wi-Fi networks
Wi-Fi is a wireless networking technology that can provide Internet access
at distances of up to 100 meters, depending on the Wi-Fi router and your
surroundings.
To use Wi-Fi on your tablet, you need to access a wireless access point, or
“hotspot”. Some access points are open and you can simply connect to
them. Others are hidden or implement other security features, so you must
configure your tablet so it can connect to them.
There are numerous systems for securing Wi-Fi connections, including
some that rely on secure certificates or other schemes to ensure that only
authorized users can connect.
This function is only supported by 3G models.
This section only applies to models with 3G modules.
