Setting Up Your Device

The following topics describe how to set up and start using your device.

Device Setup

This section describes how to set up your device.

1. Install the battery (see Installing the Battery for details).

2. The battery is shipped partially charged. If you want to fully charge the battery at this

time, connect your device to the AC charger (see Charging the Battery for details).

3. Plug the AC charger into an electrical outlet.

Important: Charge your device until the battery icon is full ( ).

Starting Your Device for the First Time

The NETGEAR Zing Mobile Hotspot is designed to activate automatically the first time that it is

turned on, 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

displayed on your device’s LCD.

If your account did not activate for some reason, an alert will appear on the home screen and on

the Zing Manager home page with an option to try the activation again. You must activate your

account before you can use Sprint data services.

After going through the activation process, you will have the option of running a quick tutorial to

learn the LCD’s features.

Power On and Activate Your Account

1. Turn on the hotspot (press and hold the Power button for 2 seconds).

2. When the Welcome message appears, tap Continue.

3. Read the End User License Agreement and, when you are ready, tap I Agree to

accept the terms of the agreement.

• If the account is still activating, a Hands Free Activation message will display the

current status. Wait for the process to finish (recommended) or tap Cancel. If you

cancel the activation, follow the instructions that appear to finish the activation

process.

• If the activation succeeds, the Activation Complete message will appear, showing

your device’s Wi-Fi name and Wi-Fi password.

4. If you want to change the Wi-Fi name and/or password immediately:
