ACTIVATE YOUR MODEM
A wireless broadband data plan must be activated on your MC100W modem.  
The process of initiating a carrier plan with your modem is called Activation.
Wireless broadband data plans are made available from wireless carriers, such as 
Sprint and Clear, and are required to allow your modem to connect and transfer 
data on their network.
Your modem may already be activated.  Check with your vendor for the activation 
status and follow their advice, if needed.
If your modem is not yet active or your vendor is unable to activate the modem, 
go to www.cradlepoint.com/mc100w for more information.
The MC100W is designed to be used exclusively with compatible CradlePoint routers 
and adapters. 
For a complete list of compatible products, visit 
www.cradlepoint.com/mc100w
The MC100W is a plug-and-play device. Simply attach the modem to the CradlePoint 
router or adapter and connect. The modem will connect if WiMAX technology is available 
in your area.
