62 Section 2D: Troubleshooting Tips
Problem Causes and Suggestions
When properly installed, the Sprint Mobile Broadband USB
modem is a highly reliable product. Most problems are
caused by one of these issues:
ⅷ The wrong driver has been installed.
ⅷ System resources required by the USB modem are being
used by other devices.
ⅷ Network coverage is not available (either because you are
outside the network or because of an account or network
problem).
This section describes how to diagnose and solve these and
other problems. If, after reading this section, you are unable
to resolve a problem, please visit
