What can I do with it?
Browse the web
You can now access the web wherever
you are (as long as there’s a data signal)
– and at 3G and 3G Broadband speeds.
This means that you only need your
computer and your Vodafone Mobile
Connect USB Modem to have all
the information and services on the
internet in front of you.
You can use the modem with either a
laptop or desktop computer.
Pick up emails
Keep up to date with your emails,
wherever you are. Sending and
receiving large attachments is
no problem, thanks to 3G and 3G
Broadband speeds.
You can also access your personal
email accounts – even web-based
accounts like Hotmail.

Your Vodafone Mobile Connect USB Modem
will let you connect your laptop or desktop
computer over the Vodafone high-speed mobile
phone network, so you can browse the web,
collect emails or receive and send SMS text
messages.
Send and receive SMS text messages**
You can send and receive SMS text
messages straight from your computer.
The program provides an easy way
to view messages you have received,
write new messages, and manage
contact details for frequently-used SMS
numbers.
What is 3G Broadband?
3G Broadband is another name for
High-Speed Uplink and Downlink
Packet Access (HSUPA/HSDPA). This
allows even faster data speeds than
3G, and should make transferring data
and browsing the web even faster than
before.
If 3G or 3G Broadband is not available,
the GPRS network will be used
instead.
The Vodafone 3G Broadband network
is growing all the time. See your
Vodafone website for more details on
where it’s available.

Set up your Huawei E272
modem
Before you can start using your new
modem, you’ll need to set it up.
You will need to have an activated
Vodafone SIM card – this should have
been provided when the modem was
purchased.
Put the SIM card into the side of the
modem.
You should have been supplied with
two data cables – one short and
single-ended one, and one long and
double-ended. You only need to use the
double-ended cable if a single USB port
does not supply enough power (if it is a
USB-powered hub for example).
Plug the single end of the data cable
into the modem as shown.
Plug the other end into your
computer’s USB port – if this does
not power the modem, then use the
double-ended cable.
This should automatically start
the software – see next page.

Certification Information
(SAR)
THIS DEVICE MEETS THE
GOVERNMENT'S REQUIREMENTS FOR
EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY
ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD.
Your wireless device is a low-power radio
transmitter and receiver. When it is running, it
emits low levels of radio frequency energy
(also known as radio waves or radio frequency
fields).
Governments around the world have adopted
comprehensive international safety guidelines,
developed by scientific organizations, e.g.
ICNIRP (International Commission on
Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection) and IEEE
4
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers Inc.), through periodic and thorough
evaluation of scientific studies. These
guidelines establish permitted levels of radio
wave exposure for the public. The levels
include a safety margin designed to assure the
safety of all persons, regardless of age and
health, and to account for any variations in
measurements.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is the unit of
measurement for the amount of radio frequency
energy absorbed by the body when you use a
wireless device. The SAR value is determined
at the highest certified power level in
laboratory conditions, but the actual SAR level
of the wireless device while operating can be
well below the value. This is because the
wireless device is designed to use the minimum
power required to reach the network.
All models of Huawei's wireless device are
designed to meet radio frequency exposure
guidelines such as European Council
Recommendation and Federal Communications
Commission Notice (United States).
European Council Recommendation: Before
a wireless device model is available for sale to
the public, it must be tested according to the
technical standard-EN 50361 and not exceed
the limit established by the European Council
Recommendation: 1999/519/EC for safe
exposure.
The SAR limit adopted by the 1999/519/EC is
2.0 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over ten
gram of tissue. The highest SAR value for this
device type when tested is 0.925 W/kg.
[EN 50361 scope states "This basic standard
applies to any electromagnetic field (EM)
transmitting devices intended to be used with
the radiating part of the equipment in close
proximity to the human ear including mobile
phones, cordless phones, etc. The frequency
range is 300 MHz to 3 GHz. Therefore, the
above text does not address primary use of the
wireless device product.]
Federal Communications Commission
Notice (United States): Before a wireless
device model is available for sale to the public,
it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it
does not exceed the limit established by the
government-adopted requirement for safe
exposure.
