When you insert the card into a Windows computer, the following should occur:
⬤The first time the card is inserted, Windows detects the card and installs the drivers for it. This may take a few minutes. Once completed, Sprint Connection Manager should display “Disconnected.” To connect to the network, click the GO button in the Mobile Broadband window.
⬤If sound effects are enabled, the computer beeps.
⬤The Unplug and Eject Hardware icon appears in the system tray, if it is not already displayed for another card (and unless the feature has been disabled).

The card is powered as soon as you insert it.
