Device Activation

Some Sprint Mobile Broadband devices may require activation (programming) prior to use. If your device needs activating, Sprint SmartView will inform you and start the activation process when you connect the device. Although the activation process will vary depending on the make, model and firmware version of your device, all activations fall into one of the following categories:

Hands-Free Activation – Sprint SmartView will simply inform you that it is activating your device and periodically give you updates about activation status. No intervention is required on your part.

One-Touch Activation – Sprint SmartView will display a pop-up window that indicates that your device requires activation/programming and asks you if you would like to activate/ program the device now. Click Yes to activate your device.

If you choose to cancel activation at this time (by clicking No), you can restart activation by disconnecting the device from your computer and then attaching it again. One-Touch Activation can also be restarted by selecting Activate Device from the Tools menu. (See “Device Properties Window: CDMA Version” on page 93 for more information.)

Activation Wizard – For some devices, Sprint SmartView will display an Activation Wizard when the device is connected. Although such devices require a few more steps to activate than those that use the techniques mentioned above, the wizard provides clear, step-by-step instructions to guide you through the process.

Although you have the option to cancel the activation process at any time, you will not be able to use the device for data connections until it has been successfully activated. To restart activation after you have cancelled, just disconnect your device from your computer and then attach it again.

The Activation Wizard is accessible from the Tools menu by selecting Activate Device. Anytime there are problems with your connection, or for new service, you can go through this wizard.
