If your current location is different from where you submitted your last location search, click Yes.

Sprint Connection Manager uses your computer’s default Web browser to display the results of Sprint Location Services.

Your Web browser opens and displays the results of your search query. In the search results of some mapping and search services, you can right-click your location to get additional information—for example, driving instructions.

From the Location & Search window, you can submit additional searches.

From the Settings window, you can specify the settings for Sprint Location Services (page 71).

Powering the USB Modem On and Off

If you are using your USB modem in an aircraft, hospital, or other environment where the USB modem may cause interference, you can power the USB modem off (without removing it from your USB slot), and still use other functions of your computer.

This also allows you to conserve your notebook computer’s battery and charge the USB modem’s battery.

To power the USB modem off:

1.Close any active data connection (page 54).

2.Select MENU > Power Off Modem.
