In order to use the 3G modem most effectively, you must carefully study the instructions attached to it and handle this convenient mobile device carefully and carefully.
Where to begin
The device, which looks like an ordinary USB flash drive, is so convenient and mobile that it can raise a lot of questions for an unprepared user about how to work with it, where to connect and how to configure it.
It's hard to believe that such a small device has the potential for high-speed WAN connectivity. However, in order to take advantage of these opportunities, you must carefully study the instructions and perform a number of specific actions, the first of which is inserting a SIM card.
Before starting to use, open the case of the modem (depending on the model, the methods of opening the cases may differ), then carefully insert the SIM card purchased from the cellular operator into it. Recently, SIM cards have been sold complete with modems, but they can be purchased separately. These are not ordinary phone cards, they are created specifically for modems. Please note that the card is inserted with the contacts facing down, as in conventional phones. Close the case.
Connecting the modem to the computer
In order to connect the modem to the computer, you need to remove the side cap, after which you will see the USB output. Plug the modem into any USB port on your computer, making sure it is fully seated in the connection. As soon as the computer detects your device, a message will automatically appear stating that the system has found new hardware. Do not click anything, the installation will start automatically. During the installation, instructions and prompts will appear that must be followed until the complete installation of the device.
If you did everything correctly, but the installation does not start, try reconnecting your modem. If the computer does not detect it again, go to the "Control Panel", to the "Install New Hardware" tab. If the second path does not lead you to installation, contact the store where you bought the modem - it may be faulty.
Beginning of work
As soon as the installation of the modem is completed, you will see that a shortcut to the corresponding program appears on the desktop. Click on it with the mouse in order to manage your tariff, access the global network, connect and disconnect the modem. There you can also see the balance of funds and the remainder of unused traffic. If you have already spent all the paid traffic, you can easily top up your account through regular terminals or ATMs.
If you want to disable the 3G modem, do not pull it out of the computer abruptly, so that the settings do not go astray and the device is not damaged. Use the Safely Remove Hardware feature and be sure to close your internet connection program before exiting.
