Note: Sprint PCS uses a data provisioning method termed IOTA (Internet
Over The Air) to complete its activation and data enablement. The follow-
ing steps detail how to properly activate and data provision your 760
Computer.
Do the following to set up activation:
1 Provide Sprint with your ESN, rate plan, and account information.
2 Sprint provides you with the following for each ESN:
S MDN, such as 214-555-5555
S MSID, such as 214-555-5555
S MSL/OTKSL (Activation Code), such as 945614
S NAI (Network Access Identifier), such as the following:
CustomerNameo103@sprintpcs.com
You must use a Secure Digital storage card with only the
SPRINT_WATCHER.CAB file in the "\SDMMC/Cabfiles" directory.
Note: Other CAB files in the "SDMMC/Cabfiles" directory may cause
problems with testing — remove or uninstall these before proceeding.
You need at least 80% (4 of 5 bars) CDMA signal strength for a successful
over-the-air activation.
