Establishing wireless WAN connections
Wireless Wide Area Network (wireless WAN) enables you to establish wireless connections to remote public
or private networks. These connections can be maintained over a large geographical area, such as a city
or an entire country, by use of multiple antenna sites or satellite systems maintained by wireless service
providers.
Some ThinkPad notebook computers come with a built-in wireless half size WAN card integrating some
wireless WAN technologies, such as 1xEV-DO, HSPA, 3G or GPRS. You can connect to the Internet or your
company network through the configuration utility and monitor the wireless connection status.
Note:
Wireless WAN service is provided by authorized service providers in some countries.
Locating the wireless WAN antennas
The built-in antennas for wireless communication are located at the top left and the top right portions of
your computer display. For the specific locations of each antenna, refer to “Location of the UltraConnect
™

Using the wireless WAN feature
To use the wireless WAN feature, start the Access Connections program. For more information, see
“Locating computer controls, connectors, and indicators” on page 1.
Installing and Replacing the SIM card
Your computer might require a SIM card to establish a wireless WAN connection. Depending on the country
of delivery, the SIM card might be already installed in your computer or will be part of the shipping contents
that came with your computer.
To install or replace the SIM card, do the following:
1. Enter ThinkPad Setup to stop battery discharge. For more information, refer to “Disabling the built-in
