Whenȱestablishingȱaȱconnection,ȱyourȱUSBȱ305ȱmodemȱusesȱ
theȱfastestȱavailableȱservice.ȱIf,ȱforȱexample,ȱyouȱareȱusingȱaȱ
USBȱ305ȱmodemȱinȱanȱareaȱthatȱhasȱEDGEȱserviceȱbutȱnotȱ
UMTSȱorȱHSDPA/HSUPAȱservice,ȱtheȱmodemȱconnectsȱusingȱ
EDGEȱservice.ȱ
Onceȱtheȱconnectionȱisȱestablished,ȱyouȱhaveȱaccessȱtoȱallȱ
Internetȱservices.
Your account and coverage area
Note: If you purchased the USB
305 modem from a GSM service
provider, you may already have
an account and a SIM card.
Otherwise, your retailer should
be able to give you the names of
companies that provide these.
YouȱmustȱhaveȱanȱaccountȱwithȱaȱGSMȱserviceȱproviderȱtoȱuseȱ
theȱUSBȱ305ȱmodem.ȱToȱuseȱtheȱmodem’sȱ3Gȱcapability,ȱyourȱ
accountȱmustȱbeȱwithȱaȱserviceȱproviderȱthatȱoffersȱHSDPA/
HSUPAȱorȱUMTSȱservice.ȱ(TheȱUSBȱ305ȱmodemȱisȱbackwardsȱ
compatibleȱwithȱ2Gȱservice.)
Whenȱyouȱobtainȱyourȱaccount,ȱyouȱareȱgivenȱaȱSubscriberȱ
IdentityȱModuleȱ(SIM)ȱcardȱcontainingȱaccountȱinformation.ȱ
TheȱSIMȱcardȱmustȱbeȱinsertedȱwheneverȱyouȱuseȱyourȱUSBȱ
305ȱmodem.
Yourȱabilityȱtoȱobtainȱserviceȱdependsȱonȱtheseȱfactors:
Note: The fee for service is
usually higher when you are
roaming (connected to a network
other than the one belonging to
your service provider).
•Networkȱcoverage—Youȱmustȱbeȱwithinȱtheȱnetworkȱ
coverageȱarea.
•Serviceȱprovider—Ifȱyouȱareȱwithinȱtheȱcoverageȱareaȱofȱaȱ
networkȱthatȱisȱnotȱoperatedȱbyȱyourȱownȱserviceȱprovider,ȱ
youȱcanȱobtainȱserviceȱonlyȱifȱthereȱisȱaȱroamingȱagreementȱ
betweenȱyourȱserviceȱproviderȱandȱtheȱnetworkȱoperator.
•Accountȱprovisions—Yourȱaccountȱmayȱrestrictȱyourȱ
usageȱtoȱcertainȱnetworksȱorȱlimitȱtheȱamountȱofȱtimeȱyouȱ
canȱuseȱtheȱnetwork.
•Frequencyȱband—Youȱcannotȱconnectȱtoȱnetworksȱ
operatingȱinȱbandsȱnotȱsupportedȱbyȱyourȱUSBȱ305ȱ

provisions.

Regulatory and Safety Information
Rev 1.1A Sep.09 33
Caution: The USB 305 modem must be 5 mm (0.2 inches) or more
from the user and bystanders during operation to satisfy FCC
(regulatory) RF exposure requirements. It is approved for use with
normal-size notebook computers only (typically with 12-inch or larger
display screens). For notebook computers with a display screen
smaller than 12 inches or if the orientation of the USB slot does not
allow for at least 5 mm between the modem and the user or
bystanders, use the provided extension cable and clip to ensure a
safe distance between the modem antenna and users or bystanders.
To meet FCC requirements, use only the supplied USB extension
cable and laptop clip; other cables and laptop clips should not be
used.
ThisȱdeviceȱcompliesȱwithȱPartȱ15ȱofȱtheȱFCCȱRules.ȱOperationȱ
isȱsubjectȱtoȱtheȱconditionȱthatȱthisȱdeviceȱdoesȱnotȱcauseȱ

reasonable protection against harmful interference
in an appropriate installation. This equipment
generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance
with the instructions, may cause harmful inter-
ference to radio communication. However, there is
no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation.
