when ready
Automatically connect to the network after SprintConnection
Manager starts, or whenever SprintConnection Manager
loses the network connection.
To select GO automatically when ready, ensure that Enable
Network Adapter (NDIS) (below) is not selected.
Tip: You can also set Sprint Connection Manager to start
automatically (see “Launch when Windows starts” on page67).
These settings provide an “always-on” connection, as long as you
have network coverage.
You can have a connection established automatically, without
having to run SprintConnection Manager. Ensure that
GOautomatically when ready is not selected, and select Enable
Network Adapter (NDIS) (below).

To select Enable Network Adapter (NDIS), ensure that GO
automatically when ready (above) is not selected.
Note: SprintLocation Services are available only when
SprintConnection Manager is running.
