Vodafone Mobile Connect

USB Modem

Designed

for Vodafone

Welcome to your new USB data

modem, designed for Vodafone

with 3G and 3G Broadband.

We’ll now take you through the

simple process of setting it up, and

help you get started – so you can

make the most of now.

For more information, please see

the Troubleshooting section in this

Quick Start Guide.

What can I do with it?

Browse the web

You can now access the web wherever

you are (as long as there’s a data signal)

– and at 3G and 3G Broadband speeds.

This means that you only need your

computer and your Vodafone Mobile

Connect USB Modem to have all

the information and services on the

internet in front of you.

You can use the modem with either a

laptop or desktop computer.

Pick up emails

Keep up to date with your emails,

wherever you are. Sending and

receiving large attachments is

no problem, thanks to 3G and 3G

Broadband speeds.

You can also access your personal

email accounts – even web-based

accounts like Hotmail.

•

Your Vodafone Mobile Connect USB Modem

will let you connect your laptop or desktop

computer over the Vodafone high-speed mobile

phone network, so you can browse the web,

collect emails or receive and send SMS text

messages.

Send and receive SMS text messages**

You can send and receive SMS text

messages straight from your computer.

The program provides an easy way

to view messages you have received,

write new messages, and manage

contact details for frequently-used SMS

numbers.

What is 3G Broadband?

3G Broadband is another name for

High-Speed Downlink Packet Access

(HSDPA). This allows even faster data

speeds than 3G, and should make

downloading data and browsing the

web even faster than before.

If 3G or 3G Broadband is not available,

the GPRS network will be used

instead.

The Vodafone 3G Broadband network

is growing all the time. See your

Vodafone website for more details on

where it’s available.

•

** SMS is currently only supported on computers running

Microsoft Windows.

Set up your Huawei E220

modem

Before you can start using your new

modem, you’ll need to set it up.

You will need to have an activated

Vodafone SIM card – this should have

been provided when the modem was

purchased.

Remove the SIM card holder from the

side of the modem. Slide the SIM card

in as shown, making sure it’s ﬁrmly

in place.

Put the SIM card holder back into the

side of the modem.

You should have been supplied with

two data cables – one short and

single-ended one, and one long and

double-ended. You only need to use the

double-ended cable if a single one of

your USB ports does not supply enough

power (if it is a self-powered USB hub for

example).

Plug the single end of the data

cable into the modem as shown.

Plug the other end into your

computer’s USB port – if this

does not power the modem,

then use the double-ended cable.

This should automatically start the

software – see next page.

•

For other versions of Windows

If you have an earlier version of

Windows®, then you may need to select

the start-up program using the ﬁle

explorer:

This is on the drive called Vodafone

Mobile Connect Lite.

The startup program is called

VMC_PBStarter.exe.

For Mac OS X systems

If you’re using Mac OS X 10.3.5 or

higher, you will need to install the

software from the CD-ROM (if provided),

or download it from the Support section

of www.business.vodafone.com.

•

Run the software

For Microsoft®Windows Vista™

(32 bit) or Windows®XP systems

If your computer is running Microsoft

Windows XP, it should automatically

start the driver setup process (your

modem already contains the software

needed). This could take a few minutes

to complete. Then it will start the

Vodafone Mobile Connect Lite software.

You’ll now see a license agreement

screen:

Agree to the licence agreement.

You’ll then see a new icon appear

in the bottom right of your screen.

If you need to start

Vodafone Mobile Connect

Lite again, just double-click

on the icon.

•

Conﬁguration

The ﬁrst time you run Vodafone

Mobile Connect Lite, your modem will

usually be set as the default device

automatically.

If this is not the case, you will need to

select your data modem as the device

you want to use (you may have other

devices connected to your computer).

Click Manage Devices in the main

screen, then select the Mobile

Connect Modem (it may be called the

Huawei E220).

Select the Default check box.

Click OK.

•

The software will then check with the

modem that everything is OK, and then

you’ll see the main window appear, with

a Connect button enabled.

A green tick will be displayed on top

of the icon in the bottom right-hand

corner of your screen. This indicates

the modem is ready to connect.

•

Make a connection

Simply click on the Connect button

to open a data connection. The main

window will now show your connection

status and other information.

You should now be able to use your

usual web browser and email programs.

To close the connection, click

Disconnect.

Modem status

Your modem will also show the signal

status using the LED light on the front:

Green blinking: A GPRS network has

been found, and the modem is ready

to connect.

Green solid: Connected to a GPRS

network – data being sent and

received.

Blue blinking: A 3G network has

been found, and the modem is ready

to connect.

Blue solid: Connected to a 3G

network.

Light blue solid: Connected to a 3G

Broadband network.

Other settings

You can customise the way the

software operates using the menus.

In Settings you can select a new

language, or whether you’d like the

software to start automatically when

Windows starts.

In Manage Connections you can

choose whether Vodafone Mobile

Connect Lite connects automatically

when it detects that your modem has

been plugged into your computer

•

Use SMS Text Messaging and

Contact Management

With the Vodafone Mobile Connect Lite software you can receive and send SMS

(Short Message Service) text messages to and from your computer. The program

provides you with an easy way to view messages you have received, write new

messages, and manage contact details for frequently-used SMS numbers.

Send an SMS

Click Vodafone SMS on the navigation bar – on the left-hand side of the main

window – to open Vodafone SMS.

Click New at the left-hand end of the SMS toolbar to create a new SMS text

message.

After your SMS has been sent, it will be stored in the Sent list.
