Important Notice
Due to the nature of wireless communications, transmission
and reception of data can never be guaranteed. Data may be
delayed, corrupted (i.e., have errors) or be totally lost.
Although significant delays or losses of data are rare when
wireless devices such as the Sierra Wireless modem are used in
a normal manner with a well‐constructed network, the Sierra
Wireless modem should not be used in situations where failure
to transmit or receive data could result in damage of any kind
to the user or any other party, including but not limited to
personal injury, death, or loss of property. Sierra Wireless
accepts no responsibility for damages of any kind resulting
from delays or errors in data transmitted or received using the
Sierra Wireless modem, or for failure of the Sierra Wireless
modem to transmit or receive such data.

Do not operate the Sierra Wireless modem in areas where
blasting is in progress, where explosive atmospheres may be
present, near medical equipment, near life support equipment,
or any equipment which may be susceptible to any form of
radio interference. In such areas, the Sierra Wireless modem
MUST BE POWERED OFF. The Sierra Wireless modem can
transmit signals that could interfere with this equipment.
Do not operate the Sierra Wireless modem in any aircraft,
whether the aircraft is on the ground or in flight. In aircraft, the
Sierra Wireless modem MUST BE POWERED OFF. When
operating, the Sierra Wireless modem can transmit signals that
could interfere with various onboard systems.
Note: Some airlines may permit the use of cellular phones while the
aircraft is on the ground and the door is open. Sierra Wireless
modems may be used at this time.
The driver or operator of any vehicle should not operate the
Sierra Wireless modem while in control of a vehicle. Doing so
will detract from the driver or operatorʹs control and operation
of that vehicle. In some states and provinces, operating such
communications devices while in control of a vehicle is an

Introducing the USB 305 Modem
When establishing a connection, your USB 305 modem uses
the fastest available service. If, for example, you are using a
USB 305 modem in an area that has EDGE service but not
UMTS or HSDPA/HSUPA service, the modem connects using
EDGE service.
Once the connection is established, you have access to all
Internet services.
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.
You must have an account with a GSM service provider to use
the USB 305 modem. To use the modem’s 3G capability, your
account must be with a service provider that offers HSDPA/
HSUPA or UMTS service. (The USB 305 modem is backwards
compatible with 2G service.)
When you obtain your account, you are given a Subscriber
Identity Module (SIM) card containing account information.
The SIM card must be inserted whenever you use your USB
305 modem.
Your ability to obtain service depends on these factors:
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).
•
Network coverage—You must be within the network
coverage area.
•
Service provider—If you are within the coverage area of a
network that is not operated by your own service provider,
you can obtain service only if there is a roaming agreement
between your service provider and the network operator.
•
Account provisions—Your account may restrict your
usage to certain networks or limit the amount of time you
can use the network.
•
Frequency band—You cannot connect to networks
operating in bands not supported by your USB 305
modem, regardless of roaming agreements or account
provisions.
Most service providers have coverage maps on their web sites.
USB 305 modem software
The connection manager software that comes with your USB
305 modem depends on your service provider. Contact your
service provider for more information.

As with any electronic device, the USB 305 modem must be
handled with care to ensure reliable operation. Follow these
guidelines when you use and store your USB 305 modem:
Rev 1.0 May.09
•
Do not apply adhesive labels to the SIM card. This may
cause it to jam inside the slot, or prevent it from being
inserted properly.
•
When not installed in your computer, store the USB 305
modem and SIM card in a safe place.
•
The USB 305 modem should fit easily into your computer’s

5: FAQ and Troubleshooting
When should I use the USB extension cable and laptop
clip?
Use the USB extension cable and laptop clip in area with low
signal strength or when the position of the USB port on the
computer makes it awkward to insert the modem directly into
the laptop computer. For more information on using the USB
extension cable and laptop clip, see “Using the extension cable
and notebook computer clip” on page 20.
Is there a limit to the size of microSD card that I can use
with the USB 305 modem?
The USB 305 modem was designed and tested for 16 GB
microSD memory cards (the largest available at the time the
modem was developed and tested). However, as memory card
technology develops and cards come onto the market that have
a larger capacity, the USB 305 modem should support those as
well.
I inserted the microSD card, but the memory card drive
doesn’t appear on my computer?
Make sure you insert the microSD memory card into the
modem before you insert the modem into your computer.
Otherwise, the computer will not recognize the memory card
drive.

7: Regulatory and Safety
Information
Notice
Because of the nature of wireless communications, trans‐
mission and reception of data can never be guaranteed. Data
may be delayed, corrupted (that is, have errors), or be totally
lost. Although significant delays or losses of data are rare
when wireless devices such as the Sierra Wireless modem are
used in a normal manner with a well‐constructed network, the
Sierra Wireless modem should not be used in situations where
failure to transmit or receive data could result in damage of
any kind to the user or any other party, including but not
limited to personal injury, death, or loss of property. Sierra
Wireless and its affiliates accept no responsibility for damages
of any kind resulting from delays or errors in data transmitted
or received using the Sierra Wireless modem, or for failure of
the Sierra Wireless modem to transmit or receive such data.
Safety and hazards
The USB 305 modem MUST BE POWERED OFF in all areas
that may be susceptible to radio interference, in particular:
•
Prohibited areas
Obey all signs and notices and follow all rules and regula‐
tions. Power off the USB 305 modem when instructed to do
so or when you suspect that it may cause interference or
danger.
•
In areas where blasting is in progress
•
Where explosive atmospheres may be present
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are not
always clearly marked. Such areas include gas stations,
fuel depots, chemical transfer or storage facilities, areas
where blasting is in progress, areas where the air contains
chemicals or particles such as grain, dust, or metal pow‐
ders, and any other area where you would normally be
advised to turn off your cellular phone or vehicle engine.
•
Near medical or life‐support equipment
Medical equipment may be susceptible to any form of
radio interference. In such areas the USB 305 modem can
transmit signals that could interfere with this equipment.
Rev 1.0 May.09

USB 305 HSPA Modem User Guide
•
On board aircraft
In addition to Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) require‐
ments, many airline regulations state that you must sus‐
pend wireless operations before boarding an aircraft. The
USB 305 modem is capable of transmitting signals that
could interfere with various onboard systems and controls.
Failure to observe this instruction may lead to suspension
or denial of cellular telephone services to the offender,
legal action, or both.
Some airlines may permit the use of cellular phones while
the aircraft is on the ground and the door is open. The USB
305 modem may be used normally at this time.
•
While operating a vehicle
The driver or operator of any vehicle should not use a
wireless data device while in control of a vehicle. Doing so
detracts from the driver or operatorʹs ability to control and
operate the vehicle. In some countries, using such commu‐
nications devices while in control of a vehicle is an offence.
Regulatory information for
North America
CAUTION: Unauthorized modifications or changes not
expressly approved by Sierra Wireless, Inc. could void
compliance with regulatory rules, and thereby your authority
to use this equipment.
