About Worldwide UMTS
If your computer has the UMTS-only WAN radio, when you perform a
clean boot all user-created network connections are deleted, and only
the generic Worldwide UMTS remains. After you perform a clean boot,
you can find more information about Worldwide UMTS by tapping
Start > Settings > Connections > Connections > Tasks tab >
Manage Existing Connections > Modem tab.
Activate the CDMA Phone
To activate the CDMA phone in your mobile computer, you need to
contact your wireless carrier and set up an account.
You also need to provide the carrier with the Mobile Equipment
Identifier (MEID) for the computer. You can find the MEID:
• on a label located in the battery compartment.
• on the outside of the computer shipping box.
The activation process is slightly different for each CDMA carrier.
Your carrier sales contact and an Intermec representative can guide
you through the process. In general, you activate the CDMA phone as
follows:
1 Contact your wireless provider and give the provider the MEID for
the computer.
2 If your carrier is Sprint, reboot the computer. As soon as the Sprint
network detects your phone, Hands-Free Activation (HFA) begins,
and a series of notification messages appear. When activation is
complete, a completion message appears and the WAN radio
reboots. The phone is ready to use.
If your carrier is Verizon, tap Start > Phone, enter *228 on the
phone keypad, and press Talk. After a short wait, a message
appears, confirming either success or failure of the activation. After
successful activation, the phone is ready to use.
Note: For the CDMA phone, settings are permanently stored in the
WAN radio after activation. CDMA settings persist through a cold
boot.
