Account Activation for Cellular Devices
Pre-Configured Multi-Tech Products
Some Multi-Tech cellular modems have been pre-configured to operate on a specific cellular network, such as Sprint
and Verizon Wireless.
However, before you can begin to use the modem, you must set up a cellular data account with your cellular network
provider. Please refer to Multi-Tech’s Cellular Activation Web site
http://www.multitech.com/activation.go for
information on activating your cellular modem.
Cellular Approvals and Labeling Requirements
Approvals and Certification
The Multi-Tech SocketModem is Industry and/or Carrier Approved as an End Product modem. In most cases, when
integrated and used with an antenna system that was part of the Multi-Tech modem certification, no additional
approvals or certifications are required (however, CDMA has a few exceptions) for the device you develop as long
as the following are met:
• PTCRB Requirements:
The antenna system cannot be altered.
• Model Identification:
IMPORTANT
When the cellular carrier asks you to provide the modem's model identification,
give the Multi-Tech cellular model identification, not the identification of the host device model.
See the label example below.
The Multi-Tech model identification allows the carrier to verify the modem as one of its approved models.
This information is located on the modem's label.
