Activating Your Wireless Account
Some Multi-Tech cellular modems have been pre-configured to operate on a specific cellular network,
such as Sprint and Verizon Wireless.
However, before you can begin to use the modem, you must set up a cellular data account with your
cellular network provider. Refer to Multi-Tech’s Cellular Activation website
http://www.multitech.com/activation.go for information on activating your cellular modem.
Phone Numbers for the Wireless Modem
Every wireless modem has a unique phone number. Your wireless provider may give you the phone
number or the number might be on the SIM card. Wireless provider implementations may vary.
Inserting the SIM Card into the Holder
The wireless MultiModem requires a SIM card (Subscriber Identity Module) to operate on a GSM
network. To install the card:
1. Use a small screwdriver or similar tool to pry off the SIM cover.
2. Insert the SIM card into the holder.
3. Verify that the SIM card fits into the holder properly and then replace the cover.
Connecting the Antenna and USB Cable
1. Connect a suitable antenna to the SMA connector (See antenna specifications in Chapter 1).
2. Connect the Series B end of the USB cable to the modem and the other end to the PC.
