￿The wrong driver has been installed.

￿System resources required by the USB modem are being used by other devices.

￿Network coverage is not available (either because you are outside the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network or because of an account or network problem).

This section describes how to diagnose and solve these and other problems. If, after reading this section, you are unable to resolve a problem, please visit www.sprint.com or contact Sprint Customer Service at 1-888-211-4PCS (4727).
