Getting Started
To install and setup the software (Windows and Mac OS X), follow these steps.
➊
Turn on your computer and close all applications.
➋
Insert the MC679 modem into your computer's USB port.
➌
The installation process will start automatically if the connection manager has not been
previously installed. Follow the on-screen instructions.
➍
The software opens when the installation is complete. The software needs to detect your
device and configure it. Follow the setup and configuration details included in the User
Guide, available at www.novatelwireless.com.
TIP
The shortcut icon is a convenient way to open the software. If the installation program
gives you the option to install a shortcut icon on the Desktop, click Yes.
To properly insert the device in your computer, follow these steps.
➊
Hold the device securely with one hand, and use the thumbnail of your other hand to
gently flip open the USB Connector on your device to a 120-degree angle. Avoid over-
extending the USB Connector past its resistance point. Avoid opening the USB connector
with metal objects as this might damage the pins.
➋
Hold the device along the side edges and gently insert it into your computer's USB port.
Do not force the device into the port as this might damage both the device and the port.
NOTE
If you are having difficulty inserting the device into your computer's USB port, verify that
the device is in the correct orientation and that you are using a Type A USB port.
IMPORTANT
The modem requires a network operator activated account to function.
