You may need the HP Mobile Broadband Module serial number to activate mobile broadband service.
The serial number is printed on a label inside the battery bay of your computer.
Some mobile network operators require the use of a SIM. A SIM contains basic information about
you, such as a personal identification number (PIN), as well as network information. Some computers
include a SIM that is preinstalled in the battery bay. If the SIM is not preinstalled, it may be provided
in the HP Mobile Broadband information provided with your computer or the mobile network operator
may provide it separately from the computer.
For information about inserting and removing the SIM, see
Inserting and removing a SIM
on page 24.
For information about HP Mobile Broadband and how to activate service with a preferred mobile
network operator, see the HP Mobile Broadband information included with your computer. For
additional information, see the HP website at

countries only).
