Setting Up Your Device The following topics describe how to set up and start using your device. Starting Your Device for the First Time The NETGEAR 341U USB Modem is designed to activate automatically the first time that it is plugged in, using 'hands-free activation'. Typically, the activation process will be seamless, not requiring any action on your part; you might not even see any activation-related messages on the device's OLED display. If your account did not activate for some reason (you are not in an area with Sprint 3G or LTE network coverage, you are in an area where you can't get signal such as a building or tunnel, etc.), a message will appear on the OLED display telling you to go to http://sprintmodem/ to activate the account. You must activate your account before you can use Sprint data services. Plug in the Modem to Automatically Activate Your Account 1. Insert the USB modem into an available USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 slot. The device starts up and, if a Sprint 3G or LTE network signal is available, it will automatically try to activate your account (a message will appear indicating hands free activation is in progress). 2. If the activation succeeds, the OLED display shows the home screen. If the activation fails, you can try to activate the account from the NETGEAR 341U Manager, or repeat this procedure when you are in a Sprint coverage area. Activate Your Account From the NETGEAR 341U Manager If your account was not activated automatically when you inserted the USB modem, you cannot use Sprint data services. You can attempt to activate the account from the NETGEAR 341U Manager: 1. Log in to the home page. (See Logging In as an Administrator.) If a Sprint 3G or LTE network signal is available, hands free activation begins automatically. 2.

Setting Up Your Device
The following topics describe how to set up and start using your device.
Starting Your Device for the First Time
The NETGEAR 341U USB Modem is designed to activate automatically the first time that it is
plugged in, using ‘hands-free activation’. Typically, the activation process will be seamless, not
requiring any action on your part; you might not even see any activation-related messages on
the device’s OLED display.
If your account did not activate for some reason (you are not in an area with Sprint 3G or LTE
network coverage, you are in an area where you can’t get signal such as a building or tunnel,
etc.), a message will appear on the OLED display telling you to go to
http://sprintmodem/
to
activate the account.
You must activate your account before you can use Sprint data services.
Plug in the Modem to Automatically Activate Your Account

Insert the USB modem into an available USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 slot. The device starts up
and, if a Sprint 3G or LTE network signal is available, it will automatically try to activate
your account (a message will appear indicating hands free activation is in progress).
2.
If the activation succeeds, the OLED display shows the home screen. If the activation
fails, you can try to activate the account from the NETGEAR 341U Manager, or repeat
this procedure when you are in a Sprint coverage area.
