24 Section 2A: Installing the Sprint Mobile Broadband Express Card

2.

Remove the card from your computer’s Express Card slot
by gripping the card on both sides and pulling straight
out to avoid damaging the modem’s antenna.
Activating Your Sprint Mobile Broadband Express Card
The final step to making your card operational is configuring
it to use your account.
If you purchased a preactivated card, this step is not
necessary. Once the application software and driver are
installed, the card is ready for use.
Otherwise, you must use the Sprint Activation Wizard to
activate and configure your account. Activation involves
phoning Sprint Customer Service, exchanging information
and entering your account information into the appropriate
fields in the wizard.
To activate an account and configure your card:
1. Insert the card into your computer. The Activation
Wizard will launch automatically.
2. Click Next to begin the activation process. The wizard
will guide you through the process.
Tip: For an overview of account activation and configuration, see
“Activating and Using Sprint Service” on page11.
Note: Sprint Connection Manager checks to ensure you have the
latest firmware installed. If there is a new firmware release
for the software, the “Firmware Update” pop-up dialog
appears.
