Account Configuration

Procedures

The final step to making the AirCard operational is config- uring it to use your account.

If you purchased a pre-activated AirCard, this step is not necessary. Once the application software and driver are installed, the AirCard is ready for use.

Otherwise, you must use the Activation Wizard to activate and configure your account. Future releases of the AirCard software will allow for Manual Activation and Voice-Assisted Activation but only Manual Activation is available in this release. Manual Activation involves phoning a service provider, exchanging information, and entering your account information into the appropriate fields in the wizard. You require a phone, other than the AirCard, to use this method.

If you have not yet selected a service provider, refer to the Sierra Wireless web site, (www.sierrawireless.com) for a listing of service providers.

To activate an account and configure your AirCard:

1.Insert the AirCard into your PC Card slot, if it is not already inserted.

2.If the Activation Wizard does not auto-launch, run Watcher (by selecting Start > Programs > Sierra Wireless > AirCard 555 for Verizon Wireless) and in Watcher select Tools > Administration > Activation Wizard.

3.Use the Next and Back buttons to navigate through the Activation Wizard, noting the following:

· Use the radio button to select Manual Activation as the method of activation you want to use.

· Obtain the billing information listed on the second window of the wizard before phoning the service provider or proceeding to the next window.

· Contact your service provider. The representative will request your ESN (electronic serial number). This is displayed in the Activation Wizard (and is printed on the AirCard box and on the label on the back of the AirCard).

· The representative will tell you your activation code, phone number, and SID (System ID). Enter these values into the appropriate fields in the Activation Wizard.
