Data Communication (GSM/CDMA Models 99EXLG, 99EXBF and 99EXLF)
Wireless carriers that use CDMA networks (i.e., Verizon and Sprint) require a one time device activation
step before the terminal is acknowledged and allowed to work on the carrier’s network. By activating the
terminal, you are associating the terminal’s unique Mobile Equipment Identifier (MEID) number with your
provider account so the provider’s CDMA network allows access.
For GSM network providers, identity registration is handled via the installation and registration of an
already activate SIM card. For more information on GSM network setup and SIM cards, see Installing a
SIM Card on page 8-2 and Accessing the Gobi Manager to Set Up or Change Network Settings on page
8-12).
Activating the Terminal for CDMA Network Communication
An active account with a CDMA network provider is required for terminal activation. Terminal activation
only needs to be done once to register the terminal MEID with the network provider.
To activate the terminal for CDMA network connections:
1. Tap on the Home screen to access the Dolphin Wireless Manager.
2. if it is not already turned ON, enable the Gobi radio (see page 8-4), and then tap OK.
3. Tap Menu, and then select Gobi Settings.
4. Tap the Setup tab.
5. Select your CDMA network provider (i.e., Verizon or Sprint) from the Firmware field pull down
menu.
6. Tap Apply. Once the terminal is finished applying the change, close the Gobi Manager.
7. Tap > Phone Activation and monitor the on-screen status updates.
8. If you are using Verizon as a provider, tap Activate once the terminal loads the service
configuration.
If you are using Sprint as a provider, the activation process is automatically initiated.
Note: Activate can selected to initiate a retry in the event of failure to activate with the provider.
Once the terminal is activated by your CDMA network provider, you can update the Preferred Roaming
List (PRL) and Firmware Update Management Object (FUMO) or access the Gobi Manager to view the
status of the connection and manage the radio network settings.
