Activating Your PCS Connection Card

The final step to making the PCS Connection Card operational is
configuring it to use your account.
Tip: For an overview of account activation and configuration, see
"Activating and Using PCS Service" on page 12.
If you purchased a pre-activated PCS Connection Card, this step is not
necessary. Once the application software and driver are installed, the card
is ready for use.
Otherwise, you must use the Sprint Activation Wizard to activate and
configure your account. Future releases of the PCS Connection Manager
Software will allow for both Manual and Voice-Assisted Activation, but only
Manual Activation is available in this release. Manual Activation involves
phoning PCS Customer Service Solutions, exchanging information and
entering your account information into the appropriate fields in the
wizard. You require a separate phone to use this method.
