Note: If you also use the AirCard 300 and a dual-card PCMCIA jacket accessory with your Pocket PC, eject the AirCard 300 before you use the AirCard 555.

Note: On Pocket PCs, anytime you eject and re-insert the AirCard, restart your PC by turning it off and on again. This step is necessary to ensure the communication port detects the card.

Note: See Chapter 2 “Getting Started” for an overview of account activation and configu- ration.

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 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.
