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 United States Carriers Sprint, Verizon The carrier will require the Mobile Equipment Identifier (MEID) to start the activation process. You can find 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.

About Switching Network Carriers Your Flexible Network Radio-enabled i.roc® Ci70 -Ex, or mobile computer contains a highly configurable WWAN platform. When you switch network carriers, or perform a clean boot, you need to set your cellular carrier, and your network connection.  Note: Your cellular carrier and network connection are set independently of each other. If you select a cellular carrier that is not supported on your current network connection, you must manually switch your network connection. About the Network Connection Note: When you perform a clean boot, the selected carrier will default to generic UMTS.
