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

Unless your device 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 USB Modem must be handled with care to ensure reliable operation. Follow these guidelines while using and storing the USB modem:

￿Do not apply adhesive labels to the USB modem. They may cause the device to become jammed inside the USB port.

￿The USB connector should fit easily into your USB port. Forcing the device into a slot may damage the connector.

￿Protect the USB modem from liquids, dust, and excessive heat.

￿Store the USB modem in a safe place, when not in use.

￿Never force the USB connector in or out of your computer’s USB port.

￿When using a laptop computer, always remove the USB modem from the USB port to avoid any damage. (See page 20 for instructions on proper removal.)
