Displaying Your Phone Number

You can view your phone number in the Device Info & Diagnostics window (Menu > Device Info & Diagnostics).

Security

When it is disconnected, you can lock your USB modem so that others cannot use it to access your account. A four-digit lock code is needed to unlock the USB modem.

You can set the USB modem to lock:

Whenever Sprint Connection Manager is started (page 57).

– or –

Immediately (without restarting Sprint Connection Manager) — useful if you are lending your USB modem and computer or leaving your computer for a short time (page 56).

Initial Lock Code

The initial lock code value is determined by your service provider.

For service provider configurations that do not require account activation, a default lock code is set at the factory to a value determined by the service provider. For assistance, contact Sprint (page 13).

Configurations that use the Activation Wizard or IOTA set the initial lock code to the last four digits of your account phone number whenever a new phone number is activated.

After activation, you can change the lock code (page 58) from the initial value to any four-digit code you choose.

Note:

The security lock code is reset to the last four digits of the phone number whenever an account is activated. This may change a custom value you have set.
