Sierra Wireless 595U manual Installing the Software on a Windows Computer

Warning:

If the orientation of your computer’s USB slot or the thickness of your computer are such that pressure is applied to the USB modem’s end or side (as shown by the red circles in the drawings below), you may damage the USB modem or your computer. In such cases, do not insert the USB modem directly into your computer’s USB slot; use the USB extension cable instead.

Windows detects the USB modem and installs the drivers for it. This may take a few minutes. Once completed, Sprint Connection Manager should display “Disconnected” (if your USB modem is preactivated) or the “One Touch Activation” window, or automatically start the Activation Wizard.

The PWR LED is lit.

12.Allow the battery to charge for approximately two hours before closing the window or making a selection in it.

Note:

If you have an older version of Sprint Connection Manager and are experiencing problems during installation, use the Add/Remove Programs Utility (see page 59) to remove the older version of Sprint Connection Manager. Then reinstall the current version of Sprint Connection Manager from the Installation CD.

13.If your USB modem is preactivated or if you have activated it at the time of purchase, proceed to “Preactivated USB Modem” on page 24.

14.Proceed to “Non-preactivated USB Modem: One Touch Activation” on page 25 if your USB modem has not been activated.
