Tip: You can use the Lock Code feature to prevent others from using your account should your Sprint Mobile Broadband Card be lost or stolen. See page 56 for instructions on using this feature.

Unless your card has been preactivated, the Sprint PCS Connection Manager Software application will automatically detect that no account has been configured when you run it for the first time. The Sprint Activation Wizard will then launch and guide you through the activation and configuration process.

Care and Maintenance

As with any electronic device, the Sprint Mobile Broadband Card must be handled with care to ensure reliable operation. Follow these guidelines while using and storing the card:

￿Do not apply adhesive labels to the card. They may cause the card to become jammed inside the card slot.

￿The card should fit easily into your Type II PC Card slot. Forcing the card into a slot may damage the connector pins.

￿Protect the card from liquids, dust, and excessive heat.

￿When not installed in your computer, store your EV-DO PC Card in a safe place.

￿Never force the card in or out of your computer’s PC Card slot.

￿When moving your computer, always remove the card from the PC Card slot to avoid any damage. (See page 20 for instructions on proper removal.)
