Note: During this time, the Sprint PCS Connection Manager message area displays “Updating Hardware” and the Go button is disabled.

Once the card is provisioned successfully, it will start IOTA (Internet Over-the-Air) Activation to update your user profile from the Sprint PCS network settings. If the card is not provisioned or out of the Sprint coverage area, the Sprint PCS Vision User Interface will display “Sprint PCS Vision: Searching for service...”.

Inserting and Removing the Sprint Mobile Broadband Card

Inserting the Sprint Mobile Broadband Card

Before you insert the Sprint Mobile Broadband Card, you must first install the Sprint PCS Connection Manager Software (see page 16 in this section). Once you have completed the software installation procedure, you may insert your card into your computer’s PC Card slot. The Sprint label should be facing up and the 68-pin connector, located at the end of the card, should be inserted directly into the computer’s PC Card slot.

Note: The card should fit snugly, but you should be able to insert or remove it easily from your computer’s PC Card slot.

A portion (the black section) of the card will remain outside the PC Card slot. This section contains the card’s antenna and the LED (light emitting diode). Because the card is not entirely contained in your computer’s PC Card slot, it is important to remove the card when transporting your notebook or Tablet PC.
