your PinPoint‐E on the Verizon cellular network.

 

Automatic Activation

 

One of the special features of your PinPoint‐E for Verizon is the

 

ability to activate itself automatically. When you first power on

 

the PinPoint‐E, it will check to see if it has been activated with

 

account data. If it finds that it has not yet been activated, the

 

PinPoint‐E will attempt to retrieve the account data from the

 

Verizon network using Over‐the‐Air Service Provisioning

 

(OTASP).

 

 

 

Caution: You need to have an account with Verizon before you

 

attempt automatic activation. If you have not ordered an account

 

from Verizon for your PinPoint-E, it will not succeed at activating.

 

 

 

a. Attach the antenna to your PinPoint‐E.

 

b.

Plug the PinPoint‐E into power.

 

c.

While the LED lights cycle from the outside to the

 

 

inside, the PinPoint‐E is attempting to download its

 

 

account information. The download process may take

 

 

about a minute or two.

 

 

 

Caution: Do not move your PinPoint-E while it is being programmed.

 

 

 

 

d.

When the lights illuminate, your PinPoint‐E has

 

 

successfully completed OTASP and is registered on the

 

 

Verizon network.

 

e.

Optional: If you need to update the ALEOS firmware,

 

 

change the account information, or want to test the

 

 

account settings of your PinPoint‐E, follow the direc‐

 

 

tions below to use the Setup Wizard. Otherwise, skip

 

 

the Wizard steps and go to the Hardware Installation

 

 

section.
