Editing or creating a GSM access point name
If your tablet connects to a Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) mobile network (2G or 3G),
and you need to edit the settings for an existing access point name (APN) or create a new APN, you must
obtain the APN and detailed settings from your service carrier.
To edit or create a new APN, do the following:
1. From the main Home screen, touch the Android Settings icon
applications icon
2. Touch Wireless & networks ➙ Mobile networks ➙ Access Point Names.
3. Touch an existing APN to edit it or touch New APN to create a new one. Enter the APN settings that you
obtained from your carrier by touching each setting that you need to edit.

Connecting to a 2G or 3G mobile data network
A SIM card is required to connect to a mobile network. Refer to "Installing the SIM card" on page 9 for
instructions on how to install a SIM card.
Note: Some tablets support access to Wi-Fi networks only. See "Connecting to a Wi-Fi network" on page
25 for instructions on connecting to a Wi-Fi network.
Depending on your tablet model and place of purchase, you might be guided to connect to your mobile
network as soon as you turn on the tablet for the first time and configure the initial setup. During the initial
setup, if a SIM card is detected, you are given the option to activate your mobile network account.
If you chose not to activate your account at that time, you can activate your mobile network account after
you install a SIM card by doing the following:
1. From the main Home screen, touch the Android Settings icon
applications icon
2. Touch Wireless & networks ➙ Mobile networks.
3. Touch Data enabled if it is disabled.
4. Touch Activate device and follow the instructions on the screen to activate your mobile network
account and connect to the mobile network.
To manually select a network, do the following:
1. From the main Home screen, touch the Android Settings icon
applications icon
2. Touch Wireless & networks ➙ Mobile networks ➙ Network operators ➙ Search networks. The list
of mobile data networks currently available is displayed.
