Once the USB modem is provisioned successfully, it will start
IOTA (Internet Over-the-Air) Activation to update your user
profile from the network settings. If the USB modem is not
provisioned or out of the Sprint coverage area, the Sprint
Connection Manager user interface will display “Mobile
Broadband: Searching for service...”.
Inserting and Removing the Sprint Mobile
Broadband USB Modem
Inserting the Sprint Mobile Broadband USB Modem
Before you connect the device, you must first install the
Sprint Connection Manager software (see page 18 in this
section). Once you have completed the software installation
procedure, you may insert your device into your computer’s
USB port.
Note:
During this time, the Sprint Connection Manager message
area displays “Updating Hardware” and the Go button is
disabled.
Note:
An external USB extension cable 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 extension cable, when used with your device, frees
up space around the USB port area. See “Using the External
USB Extension Cable” on page 23.
