Q: How do I use the Y USB extension cable and laptop clip?
A: The laptop clip fits on top of your laptop screen and holds your USB modem.
This will allow you to use your USB modem in crowded spaces by:
• Slide the USB modem into the laptop clip
• Connect the Y USB extension cable to the USB modem
• Make sure you have both ends inserted into a USB port. If you can not
plug in both ends of the Y cable to your computer, then make sure you
are using the larger of the 2 ends.
Note: Use only the supplied Y USB extension cable; other cables may not work
with the USB modem.
Q: Why does my device connect on its own without me clicking connect?
A: Sprint SmartView’s Version 2.20 or higher supports a new interface feature called
“AUTO” that will connect automatically to the current available technologies. The
priority of the Auto connect feature can be set in the Profiles. The “AUTO” feature
is set to “enabled” by default. If you want to change this behavior so that you
have to click to connect, click the AUTO button in the top right corner to
disable/enable the auto-connect feature.
