Starting Sprint PCS Connection Manager

To start Sprint PCS Connection Manager:

1. Ensure the Sprint PCS Connection Card is inserted into the PC Card slot of your computer.

antenna is perpendicular to the card.

(Windows XP:) From the Start menu on your Windows desktop, select

Sprint PCS Connection Manager (AirCard 580), or select

All Programs > Sprint > Sprint PCS Connection Manager (AirCard 580)

system tray, usually at the right end of the taskbar. (See page 38.)

You can also set Sprint PCS Connection Manager to launch automatically

whenever Windows starts (page 33).
