3. From the Location & Search window, enter or select the type of item you want

to find. If you’ve previously entered search items, a drop-down list displays the
last five items you’ve entered. Click Go.

If more than a preconfigured period of time has elapsed since the last time you’ve
submitted a location search, a window is displayed asking whether you want to
get an updated (GPS) position fix. (Depending on your account, you may be
charged for each position fix or after you have performed a certain number of
fixes.) If your current location is different from where you submitted your last
location search, click Yes.

Your Web browser opens and displays the results of your search query. In the
search results of some mapping and search services, you can right-click your
location to get additional information—for example, driving instructions.

From the Location & Search window, you can submit additional searches.

From the Settings window, you can specify the settings for Sprint Location
Services (page 71).

Powering the USB Modem On and Off

If you are using your USB modem in an aircraft, hospital, or other environment
where the USB modem may cause interference, you can power the USB modem
off (without removing it from your USB slot), and still use other functions of your
computer.

This also allows you to conserve your notebook computer’s battery and charge the
USB modem’s battery.

To power the USB modem off:

1. Close any active data connection (page 54).

2. Select MENU > Power Off Modem.

Note:

Sprint Connection Manager uses your computer’s default Web browser to
display the results of Sprint Location Services.
