About Switching Network Carriers
Your Flexible Network Radio-enabled i.roc

Ci70 -Ex, or mobile computer contains a highly con-
gurable WWAN platform. When you switch network carriers, or perform a clean boot, you need to
set your cellular carrier, and your network connection.

About the Network Connection
Note: When you perform a clean boot, the selected carrier will default to generic UMTS.

the generic UMTS remains. After you perform a clean boot, you can nd more information about
generic UMTS by tapping Start > Settings > Connections > Connections > Tasks tab > Manage
Existing Connections > Modem tab.
Your UMTS connection entry can be automatically built from your carrier issued SIM card. To
automatically recreate your network connection, install your SIM card and tap Start > Settings >
Connections > Connections > Tasks tab > Automatically congure connection.

Activate the CDMA Phone
To activate the CDMA radio module in your mobile computer, you need to contact your wireless
carrier and set up an account for each mobile computer. The following table lists the carriers that
ecom instruments currently supports. If your carrier is not listed in the table, please contact ecom
instruments product support to see if it is now supported.
Currently Supported Carriers
Country Carriers
United States Sprint, Verizon
The carrier will require the Mobile Equipment Identier (MEID) to start the activation process. You
can nd the MEID:
• on a label located in the upper right corner of the battery compartment.
• on the outside of the computer shipping box.
• in the Version Information menu.
Tap Start > Settings > Personal > Phone > Version Information tab.
The activation process is slightly different for each CDMA carrier. Your carrier sales contact and an
ecom instruments representative can guide you through the process.
After you supply the MEID to your carrier, they will respond with values that you must enter using
the Windows Mobile Activation Wizard (if required). Some of the supported carriers do not require
you to enter any values. The following table shows the carriers, the correct activation method to
use, and the values that you need to activate your phone.
