ActivatingYour Sprint PCS Connection Card
The final step to making your Sprint PCS Connection Card operational is
configuring it to use your account.
If you purchased a pre-activated Sprint PCS Connection Card, this step is
not necessary. Once the application software and driver are installed,
the card is ready for use.
Otherwise, you must use the Sprint Activation Wizard to activate and
configure your account. Activation involves phoning Sprint Customer
Service, exchanging information and entering your account information
into the appropriate fields in the wizard.
To activate an account and configure your Sprint PCS Connection Card:
1.
Insert the card into your PC Card slot. The Activation Wizard will
launch automatically.
2.
Click Next to begin the activation process. The wizard will guide you
through the process.
3.
Please telephone Sprint Customer Service to set up your
Sprint PCS wireless network account.
