If your USB modem has not been preactivated or you
have not activated it at the time of purchase, you must
activate your account and configure the USB modem
to use your account. (Normally, your device will
automatically complete the activation process the first
time you use it.)
1. Gripping both sides of the USB modem, insert it
into your computer’s USB port. Windows detects
the USB modem and installs the drivers for it.
This may take a few minutes. Once completed,
the system tray may display “Your devices are
ready to use” or “Your new hardware is installed
and ready to use.”
2. Launch the Sprint SmartView by double-clicking
the program’s icon ( ).
3. Hands Free activation starts automatically and
will be displayed on the Sprint SmartView. After
the activation successfully completes, it will
automatically connect and welcome you to the
Sprint Network.
