Security

When it is disconnected, you can lock your Sprint Mobile Broadband USB modem
so that others cannot use the device and your account. A four-digit lock code is
needed to unlock the device.
You can set the Sprint Mobile Broadband USB modem to lock:
Whenever Sprint Connection Manager is started (page 51).
– or –
Immediately (without restarting Sprint Connection Manager) — useful if you
are lending your Sprint Mobile Broadband USB modem and PC or leaving your
computer for a short time (page 51).
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 28).
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 53) 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 USB modem and forget the lock code, you
will not be able to use the device until you receive assistance from Sprint.
