You may also see these boxes during installation:

• A McAfee warning telling you your computer isn’t fully protected.
You just haven’t registered your software yet. Close this box for now, we’ll show

Ignore it for now, we'll fill it in later.
3. Creating a backup point
This will take about thirty minutes.
After Windows has finished installing, a backup point will be set. A backup point is
a saved 'snapshot' of your netbook's data. It's used as a backup so if anything goes
wrong you can go back to that point.
Samsung Recovery Solution 4 software will set your backup point for you.
Tip: Only set the partition size for drive C and D using the slide bar if you are an
advanced user.

(this is Connection Manager). Follow these steps:
1. Tick the I'm on the ø Mobile Broadband Pay Monthly button and fill in
your details.
2. Fill in your bill date. That’s so Connection Manager can estimate how much data
you’ve used. (Don't worry if you don't know your bill date just now, you can add
this later by clicking View Usage.)
3. Fill in your other details. That’s so we can keep you up to date with any new
software updates.
4. Click Continue.
5. A screen will pop up called 'User Account Control'. This is giving Connection
Manager the correct security settings. Click Yes.
6. You will now automatically be connected to ø Mobile Broadband. To connect to
Wi-Fi for a faster connection which doesn't use your data allowance, see page 7.
For detailed information on connecting to mobile broadband, or using Connection
Manager to connect to a Wi-Fi network, see the Using mobile broadband section

Getting online
There are three ways to connect.
1. ø Mobile Broadband. This uses the ø mobile network to connect to the
internet. You can connect anywhere, as long as there's ø mobile coverage.
Check your coverage at o2.co.uk/mbbcoveragechecker.
2. Public Wi-Fi hotspots. These are wireless networks. You can connect to Wi-Fi
through The Cloud for no extra charge in places like Pret A Manger and McDonalds,
and through BT Openzone. Other Wi-Fi hotspots might charge you if you connect.
Wi-Fi is usually faster than using the ø network.
3. Home Wi-Fi. This uses your home broadband, and usually gives you the fastest
speeds. If your home broadband has a wireless router, Connection Manager can
automatically connect to it. You just need to let it know which network is your
home Wi-Fi. Or, if you want to create a new network, read the help guide in
Connection Manager (click the ?, then double click Getting Connected and
choose Adding a Wi-Fi Network).
Tip: Wi-Fi is usually the fastest way to connect to the internet (at a public hotspot or
at home). You also won't use up any of your data allowance when you use Wi-Fi.
1. ø Mobile Broadband
If Wi-Fi isn't available, Connection Manager will automatically connect you to
ø Mobile Broadband.
If it doesn't, or if you want to connect manually, here's how:
1. Double click the ø icon on your desktop to open Connection Manager. If you can't
find it, go to Start > All Programs > O2CM-CE > O2 Connection Manager >
O2 Connection Manager.
2. Click Show available networks.
3. Double click O2-UK (or whichever network you want to connect to).
4. Click Yes.
When you're done, click Disconnect.

2. Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi's is usually the fastest way to connect to the internet. It's bundled into your
ø laptop package*. (Using it won't use up your data allowance on the ø network.)
*As long as you're using BT Openzone or The Cloud. You can find out more about the
terms of your package in your tariff details.
3. Public Wi-Fi hotspots
You can connect to Wi-Fi through The Cloud or BT Openzone for no extra cost.
If you're in a hotspot, it will connect automatically.
If you're connected to a BT Openzone Wi-Fi hotspot, you can start using the internet
straight away. To use BT Openzone, you'll need to have connected to mobile
broadband at least once before.
The first time you connect to The Cloud, an internet browser will open and you'll need
to register. (We've explained how below.)
You can also connect to other Wi-Fi hotspots. (You might have to pay, though.)
If Connection Manager doesn't automatically connect you to a Wi-Fi Hotspot:
1. Double click the ø icon on your desktop to open Connection Manager.
If you can't see it, go to Start > All Programs > O2CM-CE >
O2 Connection Manager > O2 Connection Manager.
2. Click show available networks.
3. Double click the Wi-Fi network you want to connect to. In this example we've
chosen ø UK Wi-Fi (Wi-Fi Zone – The Cloud).
4. Click Yes.

5. Type your ø Mobile Broadband number and click Go.
Tip: You only have to type your ø Mobile Broadband number the first time you use
The Cloud. After that you can go online straight away.
4. Home Wi-Fi
You can get help creating new networks by going to the Connection Manager's help
guide. Here's how.
1. Click the ? in Connection Manager.
2. Double click Getting Connected.
3. Choose Adding a Wi-Fi network.
5. Once you’re connected
This box might pop up:
• A McAfee warning telling you your computer isn’t fully protected. Your computer
is protected, you just haven’t registered your software yet. Close this box for now.
We’ll show you how to register with McAfee later in the guide.

– it lets you chat online with the customer service team
– it helps our customer service team fix any problems over the phone

information about you or any websites you’ve visited.

and presentation applications. For more information visit openoffice.org.

7. The speed of your mobile broadband connection
ø uses different types of Mobile Network: GPRS, EDGE, 3G and HSDPA. HSDPA is the
fastest. Connection Manager will connect you to the fastest type available.
8. Using ø Mobile Broadband abroad
You can use your ø Mobile Broadband in over 100 countries. But remember, roaming
charges are outside your monthly allowance and it can get expensive. You can see the
exact costs at o2international.co.uk.
To keep you protected from surprise costs, you'll need to let us know before you
want to use your mobile broadband abroad. Information on enabling your mobile
broadband for international use, and details on charges can be found at
o2.co.uk/mobilebroadbandroaming. Here you'll also find information on our data
roaming Bolt On.
If you're a Business customer, you're already enabled for International use.
You can add Bolt Ons on the same page.
9. Your bill
You can see your bill any time at o2.co.uk. Sign in and choose My ø.
We'll also send you an email when you're able to see your bill online. Your monthly
bill date is the date of your email, or the date written on your bill (if you asked for a
paper version).
Don't worry if you don't know your bill date when you're setting up Connection
Manager. You can type it in afterwards by clicking View Usage.
If you're a business customer, you can see your bill at o2.co.uk/business. Sign in or
register for a My ø Account, then choose My Bill Analysis. Your bill date is the
same as everyone on your account. If your business doesn't have an account, your bill
date will be about a day after you bought ø Mobile Broadband.
10. Understanding your first bill
Once you've signed a contract, it takes us a few days to set up your bill. This means
your first bill covers a slightly longer period than your other bills. So it will have a few
extra days' charges on it (the time between you buying your laptop and us setting
up your bill). Your second bill will be your usual amount.

your monthly allowance on the ø network. Go to o2.co.uk/mobilebroadband
for details.

as part of your contract. We'll have to charge you if you go over your allowance.

broadband network to download large files.

Connection Manager.
You'll get a pop-up when you've nearly used up your data. We'll also send a text
to your Connection Manager. For more information on receiving text messages,
go to page 14.

13. Problems getting connected
If you're having trouble connecting, try one or more of these steps:
1. Check the sim card
Take out the sim and wipe it with a dry cloth. With the laptop upside down,
insert the sim with the ø logo facing up and the cut edge going in first.
Push it in until it clicks.
You can check the sim card works by trying it in an ø mobile phone. If it doesn't
work in that either, call us on 0844 809 0202 and we'll replace it for you.
2. Move the computer
Try a different place. Something might be getting in the way of the mobile signal, just
like it can when you're using a mobile phone.
If you still can't connect, go to o2.co.uk/mobilebroadband/help.
Or call us on 0844 809 0202 (0800 977 7337 if you're a business customer).
Tip: You can read FAQs and a glossary at o2.co.uk/mobilebroadband.
