24 Section 2C: Setting Up Service

Activating and Using Sprint PCS Service

Before using your Sprint PCS Connection Card, you must have a Sprint PCS

wireless network account set up. The process of setting up an account is called

activation.

When the Sprint PCS Connection Card is inserted and Sprint PCS Connection

Manager is started, it will detect if the card has been configured with an account

(“preactivated”). If it has not, the Activation Wizard starts automatically.

Preactivated Card

If you received your Sprint PCS Connection Card in the mail or purchased it at a

Sprint Store, it probably has already been activated.

To prevent unauthorized use, preactivated cards may have been set with a security

lock. If so, Sprint PCS Connection Manager displays the message “Card Locked”.

To unlock your Sprint PCS Connection Card:

1. Click the icon. (If is not visible, click to expand Sprint PCS Connection

Manager.)

2. In the Enter User Lock Code window, enter your four-digit lock code, and click

OK. For security purposes, the code is not visible as you type.

After unlocking your preactivated Sprint PCS Connection Card, it is ready for use.

See “Using the Sprint PCS Connection Card” on page 29.

Non-preactivated Card: Activation Wizard

If your card is not preactivated, please see the Getting Started guide included with

your card.

If your Sprint PCS Connection Card is not preactivated, Sprint PCS Connection

Manager automatically detects that no account has been configured when you

run it for the first time. It then runs the Activation Wizard to guide you through

the activation and configuration process.

To set up your account, you will be contacting Sprint.

Tip:

If you can’t recall your lock code, try using the last four digits of either your

Social Security number or Sprint PCS Phone Number, or try 0000. If none of

these work, call Sprint Customer Service at 1-888-211-4PCS (4727).
