Account configuration
procedures
The final step to making the AirCard PC Card operational is
configuring it to use your CDMA service provider account.
The process of activation configures your AirCard PC Card
with the required account parameters (phone number,
username, password, etc.).
If you purchased a pre‐activated AirCard PC Card, this step is
not necessary. Once the application software and driver are
installed, the AirCard PC Card is ready for use.
Otherwise, you must use the Activation Wizard to activate and
configure your account.
Activation Wizard
The Activation Wizard walks you through the process of
configuring an account. The process and options vary based on
the service provider.
This section is a guide only. Consult the Quick Start Guide,
and follow the directions on screen and instructions given by
your service provider representative.
To activate an account and configure your AirCard PC Card
for use:
If your AirCard PC Card does not have an activated account,
and Watcher has started automatically, then the Activation
Wizard should start automatically. If this does not happen:
1.
Ensure Watcher is running. If it is not, double‐click the
Watcher icon
on your desktop.
2.
Start the Activation Wizard: select
Activation Wizard.
To begin activation of the AirCard PC Card, click
