How to enter APN settings into your new ZTE MF79U Wi-Fi Dongle:

1) Place your Sim Card into your dongle.

2) Note: Please be sure to use the correct Sim card size for this device, which is a Micro Sim.

This is not the smallest sim (nano), nor is it the largest (mini). It is the middle-sized sim of the

3 options.

3) Remove the front cover of the device. To do so, press firmly on the front cover with both

thumbs and slide downwards (away from the lid)

4) Please also be sure that the Sim Card is inserted the correct way round. A small icon is

shown on the main body of the ZTE MF79U to show you which way round the small cut-

out/notch of your sim should be facing.
