CN50 Mobile Computer for Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5 User Manual 35
The activation process is slightly different for each CDMA carrier.
Your carrier sales contact and an Intermec 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 (if required).
Values Required for CDMA Phone
After you complete the activation process, the settings you enter are
permanently stored in the CDMA module. Changing the OS will not
affect any of the settings or activation parameters stored in the WAN
modem.
