Connecting to networks
Your device can connect to a variety of networks and devices, mobile 
networks for voice and data transmission, Wi-Fi data networks and 
Bluetooth devices, such as headsets. This chapter will describe how to 
connect to different networks.
Connecting to mobile networks
When you assemble your device with a SIM card from your wireless 
service provider, your device is configured to use your provider’s mobile 
networks for transmitting data.
Your device is configured to work with many mobile carriers’ networks. If 
your device does not connect to a network when you insert a SIM card and 
turn it on, contact your carrier to obtain the details of its access point name. 
Different locations may have different mobile networks available. Initially, 
your device is configured to use the fastest mobile network available for 
data. You can also configure your device to access a different set of 
networks entirely, or to behave in special ways when roaming.
The icons in the Status bar indicate which kind of data network you’re 
connected to and the voice and data network signal strength.
This section only applies to models with 3G modules.
