modem.
Installing Cingular Software
You must install the Cingular software that came bundled with your 3G PC card modem
before activating the card.

intend to use for PC card setup.
2. Follow the instructions on screen to complete the Cingular software installation.

Otherwise, navigate to Start > Programs > Cingular > Cingular Communications
Manager to start the Communications Manager program.
5. De-select all checkboxes on the first configuration page, including the Use this as
my default Wi-Fi management utility option (checked by default).

checkbox and click the OK button to continue.

Preparing the PC Card
Now that you have installed the required activation software on our PC, you can prepare
the card for first use.
1. Remove the PC card from the packaging and attach antenna if necessary.
2. Locate your SIM chip and remove it from its packaging if necessary (the SIM chip
may be attached to a larger 3x5 plastic card from which it must be removed).
3. Insert the SIM chip into your PC card modem. When inserted correctly, the SIM chip
will “click” in place and sit perfectly flush with the edge of the PC Card.
