Connecting For the First Time
To connect to Verizon Wireless for the first time:
• Select “National Access–BroadbandAccess.”
• Click the “Connect” button.
• If your device has not yet been activated, you will be directed to a Verizon
Wireless website to set up an account. (To later purchase additional access, click
the “Get Access” button.)
• Important: Once your account is set up on the Verizon Wireless website, please
click the “Disconnect” button to ensure your account is set up properly.
• If you wish to begin using the service, click “Connect” again (or simply double-
click the network name).
Disconnecting
To disconnect, either click the “Disconnect” button, or double-click the network
name again.
Other Notes
If your expected connection does not appear: Select “Refresh Networks” from
the “Options” menu. This will cause VZAccess Manager to look for your wireless
device(s) and verify network availability.
Changing Wireless Devices: If you change wireless devices, you will need to
run the Setup Wizard again. To do this make sure that your phone and cable are
connected, then select “Run Wizard” from the “Options” menu.
Wi-Fi networks:
• If you have any Wi-Fi networks you manually added because they do not
broadcast their SSID, they will always be displayed, and you will have to refer
to the signal strength displayed to know when you are in range. See the section
“Wi-Fi Specific Settings” for additional details.
• Note that with certain Wi-Fi adapters, the signal strength for Wi-Fi networks is not
accurate until you connect to the network.
NationalAccess and BroadbandAccess Connections:
• The NationalAccess connection is only created when the WWAN option is
selected during setup and if you are using a NationalAccess capable device that
does not support the Verizon Wireless BroadbandAccess service.
