AirCard 779S Mobile Hotspot
• Make sure that you get a data-enabled SIM:
• Some phone SIMs work, but not all. Best practice is to use a hotspot or tablet SIM.
Phone SIMs and hotspot and tablet SIMs look the same but work dif
ferently on the
network.
• If you want to use 4G L
TE data, make sure that the service provides 4G capability.
• Get the
APN from the service provider:
• The
APN is often listed in the literature that came with the SIM.
• The service provider website might also list the
APN information.
• As a last resort, most service provider
APN information is available through a web
search. For example, search for <service provider name> APN.
• For information about adding, selecting, or removing
APNs, see Configure Your
Hotspot’s Access Point Name on page 50.

your Internet service provider.
To install the micro-SIM card:
1. Remove the back cover by lifting at the notch on either corner of the hotspot.
2. Insert the micro-SIM card.
