6.2 3G Network
A 3G network is a mobile network that allows high-speed data access and advanced network capacity. It
features a wider range of services and advanced network capacity over the previous 2G network.
Your tablet supports external 3G network by a 3G dongle. 3G dongles are connected via the USB HOST port.
Note: some models support an optional 3G network. If you have purchased a tablet with a SIM card slot,
you can access the Internet via your 3G SIM card when a Wi-Fi network is not available. Please insert your
3G card into the SIM card slot of the tablet, and the tablet will obtain 3G signal automatically. If you've
purchased a tablet without a SIM card slot, you can also access Internet with a USB 3G dongle.
