Ready?

First, double-check that:

1 You’re running either Windows 2000 / XP / Vista for a PC or OS X for a Mac.

2 Your computer or laptop meets or exceeds the minimum operating requirements

for your operating system (Windows or Mac OS X).

3 Your computer or laptop also has a display resolution of at least 800 x 600.

4 You have the log in details and any password needed to install software (business

users may need ‘administrator rights’).

5 Finally, if you have anti-virus protection or a firewall, you may need to switch

these off when installing your USB modem software or ‘allow’ installation.

Go.

All the clever bits and bobs you need (‘drivers’, if we’re getting technical) are already

loaded onto your USB modem. All you need to do is connect it to your laptop or computer

and follow the on-screen instructions.

You can connect your USB modem to your computer in two ways

1 Simply plug your USB modem into the USB port.

2 Use the cable supplied (this might improve performance in weaker network

coverage areas).

Once you’re connected, the light under the 3 logo on your USB modem will change

from green to blue.

Troubleshooting tip: You’ve switched your computer on. You’ve plugged

your dongle in. And now nothing is happening? Make sure you’ve given your

computer enough time to finish starting up before you insert your dongle.

Installing your software onto your PC

Once your USB modem is connected, you may have to wait a few minutes before anything

happens (about the time it takes a kettle to boil). Then:

> Read and accept the User Licence Agreement, if it pops up

> Follow the Wizard and the software will be installed automatically

(Don’t follow the Windows Driver Installation Wizard

if offered because that won’t fully install the software)

The software takes a few seconds or a few minutes to install, depending on your computer

(about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea or coffee).

Installing your software onto your Mac

Once your USB modem is connected, you should see a 3Connect icon on

your desktop. Click on it. Then:

> Open the 3Connect Installer software

> Read and accept the User Licence Agreement, if asked

> Enter your password or admin log in, if asked

The 3Connect software will be automatically installed in your Applications folder.

Troubleshooting tip: Your computer can’t detect

your dongle? Try inserting it into another free USB port.

Using your USB modem.

Once the software is installed, all you need to do each time you want to use your

USB modem is connect it and then wait for the following screen to appear. It should

take about 30 seconds and when it pops up click on Connect.

the internet, just like you would do on any other computer. To end your internet session,

Keep track of your usage on My3

> My3 is a free service where you can check your usage and spending, see what’s left,

buy Top-ups or Add-ons and convert Mobile Broadband Add-ons. It’s there to help

you, so well worth a look.

> You can get straight on to My3 by going to My Account and clicking Open on your

broadband software. Or visit three.co.uk/my3 anytime – even if you’re out of

credit – and use your 3 mobile number (you’ll nd this on the My Account tab) to log

in. You’ll need to register rst, which takes a few moments.
