Broadband (Sierra).
(Windows 2000) Start > Programs > Sprint > Sprint Mobile Broadband (Sierra).
Sprint Connection Manager should display "Disconnected."
2. If Sprint Connection Manager displays "Device locked," unlock the device
(page 52).
3. If Sprint Connection Manager displays "Device powered off," power the device
on (page 38).
4. Start the Activation Wizard: select MENU > Settings > Sprint Vision - Sierra
Wireless > Activation Wizard.
Once the Activation Wizard is running:
1. To begin activation of the Sprint Mobile Broadband USB modem, click Next.
2. Call Sprint at the phone number listed on the screen. Click Next.
3. Give the account representative your ESN (Electronic Serial Number) or MEID
(Mobile Equipment IDentifier) number as displayed by the Activation Wizard.

click Next.
4. Enter the phone number (no spaces or hyphens) and, if not the same value as
the phone number, the MSID value given by the account representative, and
then click Next.
A confirmation window will be displayed.
5. Confirm with the service representative that the information is correct. If it is,
click Yes. If it isn't, click No, and re-enter the information.
6. Click Finish to close the Activation Wizard.
7. Wait a few moments for the Sprint Mobile Broadband USB modem to
automatically reset. Depending on your configuration, an IOTA session may
