24 Section 2A: Installing the Sprint Mobile Broadband USB Modem
Inserting and Removing the Device
Inserting the Device
Before you connect the device, you must first install the
Sprint Mobile Broadband software (see page 16 in this
section). After you have completed the software installation
procedure, you may insert your device into your computer’s
USB port.
When you connect the device, the following should occur:
ⅷ The USB modem is powered as soon as you connect it to
the computer’s USB port.
ⅷ The LED indicator on the device lights up, blinks, and turns
solid green.
ⅷ Sprint Mobile Broadband starts (unless the auto-launch
feature has been disabled).
Note:
An external USB cable and clip holder accessory is included
for your convenience. This accessory (not required for use
with the device) is ideal for using USB devices in hard-to-
reach and overcrowded spaces, a common situation with
many computers, relieving strain on your ports and allowing
you to use additional USB devices with convenience. The USB
cable and clip holder must be used together in order to
complywith FCC regulations.
The USB cable andclip holder when usedwith your device,
frees up space around the USB port area. See “Using the
External USB Cable and Clip Holder” on page 25.
Note:
Your device also contains an antenna that can be used for
better coverage; this is an integral part of the device. To use
this feature, flip open the device's antenna by gently gripping
the top right side of the external cover with your forefinger.
