Using the External USB Cable and Clip Holder
To use the accessory pair:

Connector must be visible through the holder.)
2. Plug one end of the USB Cable into the Type A USB port on
your notebook.
3. Plug the wide end of the cable into the Sprint Mobile
Broadband USB modem.
4. The device is powered as soon as the USB cable is plugged
properly into the appropriate Type A USB port. (The LED

notebook.
6. Start Sprint Mobile Broadband and click Connect.
Using the External Antenna Connector
An external antenna and external antenna adapter cable is
included for use with the USB modem. An external antenna is
useful when traveling in fringe coverage areas where the network
signal may be weak. To use the external antenna adapter:
1. Locate the external antenna connector on the side of the
device.
2. Remove the rubber protector to expose the connector. (Keep
the rubber protector in a safe place for future use in order to
protect the connector from debris when not in use).
3. Connect the external antenna adapter cable to the USB
modem's connector.
4. Connect the other end of the external antenna adapter cable
into the external antenna.
