Some Terms to Help You Get Familiar With The
CDMA Radio Technology
SActivation - the process of programming the radio
with the lock code (MSL) and phone number
(MIN)toallowittocommunicateontheprovid-
er’s network. Once activation is complete the user
can make voice calls (if enabled by the carrier) with
themobilecomputer.
SData Provisioning - the process of activating the
ability for the CDMA radio to establish data con-
nections e.g. connecting to the Internet.
SNID (Network ID) - a numeric value programmed
into the CDMA radio during the activation pro-
cess. This value may or may not be used by your
carrier. This number may be provided by your car-
rier for activation purposes.

Activation
SB555 Watcher programisintendedtobeusedonly
for activation and data provisioning. Once you enable
voice capability, data capability, or both depending on
the carrier, you can remove the program from the sys-
tem by cold booting your computer.
We do not recommend using the SB555 Watcher pro-
gram for making data and voice calls on a daily basis
because:
SIt is a third party application that is unaware of
certain power management methods used in your
760 Mobile Computer. Therefore, it consumes
more power than necessary.
SThe application size consumes memory that would
be better used for your application data.
The process of setting up the account with your carrier
and enabling the CDMA WAN radio in your model
760 Mobile Computer is called activation.
The CDMA radio is pre-programmed for a specific
carrier (example: Sprint, Telus, Bell Mobility, Verizon,

10 700 Color CDMA Radio Setup Quick Start Guide
etc.). Therefore, information about your radio should
already be in your carrier’s database.
You need to notify the carrier and set up mobile ac-
counts for each unit you are activating. The Electronic
Serial Number (ESN) that you need to supply to your
carrier is located in two places:
1Ontheoutsideofthemobilecomputershipping
box.
2On the inside of the your mobile computer battery
compartment. The ESN comes in two formats
(decimal and hexadecimal). Most carriers accept
either format. The decimal number is usually pre-
ferred.
SThe decimal format is an 11-digit number begin-
ning with 099.
SThe hex format is an 8-digit number beginning
with 63.
Only one of these number needs to be provided to the
carrier.
Accounts for Verizon and Sprint carriers can be set up
for data only. Canadian carriers (Telus and Bell Mo-
bility) can be set up for data only, voice only, or both
voice and data. This is determined by your application
and the services your carrier offers.
After the ESNs for all the 760 Mobile Computers
have been provided to the carrier and the carrier has
established the accounts, you will be provided with the
lock codes and telephone numbers needed to complete
the activation process. You use the SB555 Watcher
program to accomplish this task.
It is recommended that you write down the following
information to have for future use.
Note: Ensure that you receive a spread-
sheet with your order that calls out all the
ESN’s in both decimal and Hexidecimal
format.
Note: Not all the elements listed below are
required by all service providers.
