Before you can use your Sprint Mobile Broadband USB Modem,
you must:

Windows will detect the device and automatically
install the necessary device drivers.
3. Launch the Sprint PCS Connection Manager Software
application.
4. Activate your Sprint Mobile Broadband USB Modem and
Sprint PCS account, unless the device was preactivated.
If your device has not previously been activated, the

you through the process.
Note:
Before installing your new software, delete or uninstall any
previously existing modem or dialer software from your
system.
Do not connect the device to your computer until
you have installed the Sprint PCS Connection Manager
Software onto your PC or until instructed to do so by the
installation CD.
Note:
A driver is software that forms the interface between a device
(such as the Sprint Mobile Broadband USB Modem) and the
operating system on your PC.
