2. Use the Next and Back buttons to navigate through the wizard, noting the
following:
nYou must select I accept the terms in the license agreement to indicate your
acceptance of the terms of the license agreement to proceed with the
installation.
nUse the default settings for the Destination Folder unless you have special
requirements and an advanced understanding of PC configuration. (The
Destination Folder dictates where the software is installed.)
nTo install the optimization software (optional; this software can increase
your perceived system speed), in the Installation Options window, select
the check box for the Data Optimization Client.
3. At the end of the installation, you will be prompted to restart your computer.
Ensure that you save your work in other applications, if applicable.
4. When the “Installation Complete!” window is displayed, click Restart to restart
Windows.
5. When Windows has restarted, run SprintPCS Connection Manager.
(Double-click the program’s icon [ ] on your desktop.)
6. Once SprintPCS Connection Manager displays “No device,” insert the card into
the PC Card slot, Sprint label facing up. (See page20.)
Windows detects the card and installs the drivers for it. This may take a few
minutes. Once completed, SprintPCS Connection Manager should display
“Disconnected.”
Proceed to configure the SprintMobile Broadband Card to use your account (if it
was not preactivated); see “Activating and Using Sprint PCS Service” on page24. If
your card is preactivated, then you are ready to connect to the network; to learn
about using the software, see “Your SprintMobile Broadband Card: The Basics” on
page 31.
NOTE: If you have an older version of Sprint PCS Connection Manager and are
experiencing problems during installation, use the Add/Remove Programs
Utility (see page51) to remove the older version of Sprint PCS Connection
Manager. Then reinstall the current version of Sprint PCS Connection
Manager from the Installation CD.
