The software should now start installing. You can watch its progress as a blue bar fill the status box in the centre of the screen. Don't worry if the
programme appears to stall when the bars reach the end – it sometimes takes a few seconds to complete.

A new window should appear to let you know it has installed successfully. Click Finish.

You are now ready to connect! The ZTE connection manager should automatically appear. If not, double click on the Three icon on your
desktop.

Once connected, the State label at the bottom left should indicate that you are Connected to Three, and a dialog box will show the amount of
data being sent and received over the network.

A Set Network Location window may also appear, asking if you would like to specify the new connection as a Home, Work or Public
Location network. Select whichever you prefer, or close the window to cancel the request by clicking on the X button in the top right corner. If

You can minimise the connection manager (by clicking on the – button at the top right corner), but do not close it (by clicking on the X button in
the top right corner).
Once minimised, the connection manager window can be restored to full size by clicking on an icon in the task bar on the bottom right corner of
your screen. It looks like a small computer with a green circle next to it.
To disconnect from the network, simply click the Disconnect button on the main page of the connection manager window. You will know it has
been fully disconnected when the message box asks if you would like to Connect to Three. The light on the modem should also turn to red, and
the icon in the bottom right corner of your screen will change to a Three logo.

If the Disconnect button is no longer visible in the connection manager window, you may have to disconnect manually. To do so, go to the Start
menu at the bottom left corner of your screen, then select Network. A new window will appear. Click on Network and Sharing Centre, which
should be located on the menu bar along the top.
