ⅷ
Your USB modem’s phone number (MDN)
ⅷ
Your USB modem’s MSID (Mobile System ID) code, used for WLNP (Wireless
Local Number Portability) and to determine whether you are “home” or
“roaming”
To activate your USB modem and account:
1. From the Extras item on the Sierra Wireless Watcher menu, choose Activation.
2. In the Activation Assistant window, click Continue.
3. Call Sprint at the appropriate number displayed in the Activation Assistant.
4. Follow the instructions of the account representative to activate your USB
modem.
After Sprint sets up your account on the network, your USB modem is
activated.
5. To complete the activation process, enter the information (from the account
representative) into the fields on the screen.
6. From the Extras item on the Sierra Wireless Watcher menu, choose Data
provisioning.
7. In the Data Provisioning window, click OK.
The USB modem then retrieves the updates to your account. Watcher Lite will

ready to connect to the network (click Connect). Proceed to the next section
(“Connecting to the Sprint Network”).
