The installation process has two stages:
ⅷ Installing the Software and Drivers — Install the Sprint
SmartView software and device drivers (for
Windows, see page 7; for Mac, see page 8).
ⅷ Activating Your Device — Start the software, activate
your account, and configure the device to use
your account. For complete instructions, consult
the user guide, available online at
www.sprint.com.downloads.
Inserting the Device into Your
Computer’s USB Port
1. Insert the device with the Sprint label facing up
into your computer’s USB port. (Do not forcefully
insert the device, as this may damage it.)
2. The first time you insert the device into your
computer, the drivers will install. Wait a few
moments while your computer automatically
installs the necessary drivers for your device. A
series of “Found New Hardware” messages
may appear.
