There are several reasons why this behavior may occur, one of the followi ng
should rectify the issue:
• The U760 is not fully inserted into the USB port
U760 must be fully inserted into the USB port of your computer (either
directly, or through the optional extension cable) in order for the drivers to be
installed and for the Sprint SmartView software to recognize the USB modem.
If necessary, remove and reinsert the U760 USB modem into the USB port
on the computer.
If this does not resolve the problem, try using another USB port (if
available).
If the modem is still not recognized, remove the U760 USB modem and
reboot the computer. Once the computer is booted up, plug in the U760
USB modem again.
• If you are using a USB extension cable other than the Novatel U760 USB
extension cable provided please remove it and plug the U760 directly into the
USB port or use the use the USB cable provided with the modem.
