Ending a Connection

To end a connection:

In the Mobile Broadband window, click Stop.

This ends your data connection, and also your GPS connection, if it is open.

Note:

The Stop button in the GPS Receiver window ends only your GPS connection; data may still be transferred.

If Enable Network Adapter (NDIS) (page 69) has not been selected and you exit Sprint Connection Manager while a connection is in progress, a window opens asking whether you want to disconnect the call. Click Yes to end the connection and exit Sprint Connection Manager. (See “Exiting Sprint Connection Manager” on page 49.)

If Enable Network Adapter (NDIS) has been selected, manually disconnecting will leave the USB modem disconnected. It will not reconnect until you remove and reinsert the USB modem.

If GO automatically when ready (page 69) has been selected, manually disconnecting will leave the USB modem disconnected. It will not reconnect until one of the following occurs:

You make a connection through Sprint Connection Manager

A GPS fix is successfully acquired after you initiate Sprint Location Services (page 43)

You restart Sprint Connection Manager
