Activate Your Wireless Account

Please see the wireless account Activation Notices located on the MultiModem CD. Choose the one for your
wireless network provider and follow the directions to activate your account.
Phone Numbers for the Wireless Modem
Every wireless modem will have its own unique phone number. The phone number may simply be given to you by
your wireless service provider or it may be on the SIM card or both. Wireless provider implementations may vary.

Insert the SIM Card into the Holder

The wireless MultiModem requires a SIM card (Subscriber Identity Module) to operate on a GSM network. To install
the card, do the following:
1. Using your fingernail or a small wedging tool (e.g., a small screwdriver), pry off the SIM cover.
2. Insert the SIM card into the holder.
3. Verify that the SIM card fits into the holder properly and then replace the cover.

Connect the Antenna and USB Cable

1. Connect a suitable antenna to the SMA connector (See antenna specifications in Chapter 1).
2. Connect the Series B end of the USB cable to the modem and the other end to the PC.
