How do I install the E170 dongle?

Simply:

Install BT Access Manager on your laptop.
Insert your BT SIM card by pushing it gently, but fully, into the slot on the side of the E170 dongle.
Make sure you've activated your SIM card - to find out how to do this, see your welcome pack.
Plug the single-ended short data cable into the dongle.
Plug the other end into your computer’s USB port.
If this doesn't power the dongle, use the double-ended long data cable, also supplied.
Open BT Access Manager and choose how you want to connect to the network.
