3.From the “Sprint Nextel Location & Search” window, enter or select the type of item you want to find. If you’ve previously entered search items, a drop-down list displays the last five items you’ve entered. Click Go.

If more than a preconfigured period of time has elapsed since the last time you’ve submitted a location search, a window is displayed asking whether you want to get an updated (GPS) position fix. (Depending on your account, you may be charged for each position fix or after you have performed a certain number of fixes.) If your current location is different from where you submitted your last location search, click Yes.

Note:

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 “Sprint Nextel Location & Search” window, you can submit additional searches.

From the “Settings” window, you can specify the settings for Sprint Location Services (page 83).

Powering the Card On and Off

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

This also allows you to conserve your notebook computer’s battery.

To power the card off:

1.Close any active data connection (page 66).

2.Select MENU > Power Off Modem.
