Security
When Disconnected, you can lock your Sprint Mobile Broadband Card so that
others cannot use the card and account. A four-digit lock code is needed to unlock
the card.
You can set the Sprint Mobile Broadband Card to lock:
Whenever Sprint PCS Connection Manager is started (page 47), or
Immediately (without restarting Sprint PCS Connection Manager) — useful if
you are lending your Sprint Mobile Broadband Card and PC or leaving it for a
short time (page 47).
Initial Lock Code
The initial lock code value is determined by your service provider.
For service provider configurations that do not require account activation, a
default lock code is set at the factory to a value determined by the service
provider. For assistance, contact Sprint (page 25).
Configurations that use the Activation Wizard set the initial lock code to the last
four digits of your account phone number whenever a new phone number is
activated.
After activation, you can change the lock code (page 48) from the initial value to
any four-digit code you choose. (See "Warning Regarding the Lock Code" below.)
Note:
The security lock code is reset to the last four digits of the phone number
whenever an account is activated. This may change a custom value you
have set.
Warning Regarding the Lock Code
If you lock the Sprint Mobile Broadband Card and forget the lock code, you will not
be able to use the card until you receive assistance from Sprint.
