Table 1-3 on page 1-6 for charge status indications) using a cable or a cradle with the appropriate power supply.

For information about the accessories available for the EDA, see Chapter 2 , Accessories.
The EDA is equipped with a memory backup battery which automatically charges from the fully-charged main

battery . When the EDA is used for the first time, the backup battery requires appr oximately 24 hours to fully charge.
This also applies any time the backup battery is discharged, which occurs when the main battery is removed for
several hours. The backup battery retains RAM data in memo ry for at least 30 minutes (at room temperature) when
the EDA's main battery is removed. When the EDA reaches a very low battery state, the combination of main
battery and backup battery retains data in memory for at least 40 hours.

To charge batteries, use either a cable or one of the following cradles:

•

Single Slot USB/Serial Cradle on page 2-4

•

Four Slot Ethernet Cradle on page 2-6

•

VCD7000 Vehicle Cradle on page 2-12.

Snap-on accessories such as the Magnetic Stripe Reader (MSR) and the Trigger Handle provide a pass-through
port for charging.

To charge the main battery in the EDA:

1. Connect the charging accessory to the appropriate power source. See Chapter 2, Accessories for setup

information.

2. Insert the EDA into a cradle or attach the cable. The EDA begins charging. The Charge LED is amber while

charging, then turns solid amber when fully charged. See Table 1-3 for charging indications.

Power Connection

Please read all of the following instructions before beginning.

WARNING! A properly trained technician must perform the power connection. Improper connection can damage

your vehicle, cradle or EDA. Refer to the vehicle’s Owner’s Manual for instructions for removing
power.

To connect the cradle to power:

CAUTION When setting up connection for this cradle, only use the power input cable provided with this cradle.

1. Locate the vehicle power source.

NOTE The ideal location for connecting the vehicle cradle power input cable would be an accessory output in your

vehicle’s fuse panel. The vehicle cradle should be added to a circuit with a maximum load capacity for the
cradle and the original circuit. Refer to the vehicle’s Owner’s Manual for identification of the circuit.
If a fused output is not available, the vehicle cradle must be installed with the provided in-line fuse holder and
UL Listed 5A fuse. The fuse protects the vehicle from an electrical short on the power line to the cradle.

2. Route the power input cable from the cradle’s power port to the connection point for the vehicle’s power

source.

CAUTION The means of routing and securing the power input cable from the cradle through to the vehicle power

source is extremely important. Hazards associated with improper wiring can be severe. To avoid
unintentional contact between the wire and any sharp edges, provide the cable with proper bushings and
clamping where it passes through openings. If the wire is subjected to sharp surfaces and excess engine
vibration, the wiring harness insulation can wear away, causing a short between the bare wire and chassis.
This can start a fire.
To avoid any mishaps, all wiring should be routed away from moving parts, high temperature areas and any
contaminants.

3. When using the supplied in-line fuse holder (which must be used if not connecting to vehicle’s fuse panel):

a. Ensure the fuse holder contains a 5A UL Listed slow-blow fuse.
b. Splice the fuse holder to the end of the red V+ wire, as shown above. Make the distance from the fuse to

the power connection point as short as possible.

Figure 2-19

4. Prepare the cable termination.

a. Red wire: connect to a +12/24 V vehicle power source.
b. Black wire and Shield wire: connect to vehicle ground wire or chassis ground.

5. Connect the power input cable into the power port on the cradle.

Vehicle Cradle Power Connection

NOTE How the cable terminates depends on the vehicle. If the vehicle has a power output connector, then you must

attach a mating connector to the end of the power cable. You may be able to connect to a fuse panel with a
simple blade terminal or commercially available connector. Consult the vehicle Owner’s Manual for information
on how to access the power supply in the vehicle.

To see if the cradle has power, insert the EDA. The Charging LED on the EDA blinks slowly to indicate charging
and turns solid amber when the battery is completely charged. See Table 1-3 on page 1-6 for other indications.

Chapter 3 ActiveSync

Introduction

To communicate with various host devices, install Microsoft ActiveSync (version 4.5 or higher) on the host
computer. Use ActiveSync to synchronize information on the mobile computer with information on the host
computer. Changes made on the mobile computer or host computer appear in both places after synchronization.

NOTE When a mobile computer with Windows Mobile 5.0/6.1 is connected to a host computer and an ActiveSyn c

connection is made, the WLAN radio (if applicable) is disabled. This is a Microsoft security feature to prevent
connection to two networks at the same time.

ActiveSync software:

•

Allows working with mobile computer-compatible host applications on the host computer. ActiveSync

replicates data from the mobile computer so the host application can view, enter, and modify data on the

mobile computer.

•

Synchronizes files between the mobile computer and host computer, converting the files to the correct

format.

•

Backs up the data stored on the mobile computer. Synchronization is a one-step procedure that ensures the

data is always safe and up-to-date.

•

Copies (rather than synchronizes) files between the mobile computer and host computer.

•

Controls when synchronization occurs by selecting a synchronization mode, e.g., set to synchronize

continually while the mobile computer is connected to the host computer, or set to only synchronize on

command.

•

Selects the types of information to synchronize and control how much data is synchronized.

Installing ActiveSync

To install ActiveSync on the host computer, download version 4.5 or higher from the Microsoft web site at

http://www.microsoft.com. Refer to the installation included with the ActiveSync software.

Chapter 4 Application Deployment for

Windows Mobile

Introduction

This chapter describes new features in Windows Mobile including new security features, how to package
applications, and procedures for deploying applications onto the EDA.

Security

The MC70 EDAs implement a set of security policies that determine whether an application is allowed to run and, if
allowed, with what level of trust. To develop an application, you must know the security configuration of the device,
and how to sign an application with the appropriate certificate to allow the application to run (and to run with the
needed level of trust).

Application Security

Application security controls the applications that can run on the EDA.

•

Trusted - All applications must be digitally signed by a certificate on the EDA.

•

Prompted - User is prompted to allow unsigned applications to run.

•

Open - All applications run.
Developers can include their own certificates and provision the device to “trusted.”

Digital Signatures

Digital signatures provide a way to authenticate the author of EXEs, DLLs, and packages. Digitally signed
applications give users confidence that an application comes from where they think it comes from. For example, if
an end-user downloads an update package from the internet that is digitally signed with Zebra's software
certificate, they are assured that the package is authentic and that it was cr eate d by Zebr a. By enforcing th e use of
digital signatures, users can also prevent malicious applications from executing on the EDA. For example, users
can provision the EDA to only execute “trusted” applications (digitally signed).

Zebra ships all Windows Mobile based products in an “open” state, which means all signed and unsigned
applications should work. However, customers can still reconfigure their EDAs to operate in the “trusted” mode.

4 - 2 MC70 Integrator Guide

This means that only applications signed with a certificate from the Privileged Execution Trust Certificate Store can
run.

To support the broadest number of deployments, third-party software developers should perform the following
when releasing software for a Windows Mobile 5.0 devices:

•

Sign all their EXEs & DLLs with their private key

•

Provide the corresponding public certificate to end-users so that it can be installed into Privileged Execution

Trust Certificate Store.
If the software is installed via a .CAB file, developer should also:

•

Sign the .CAB file with their private key

•

Provide the corresponding public certificate to end-users so that it can be installed into SPC Certificate Store.

Locking Down a Mobile Computer

Like most configuration options in Windows Mobile, security settings are set via XML provisioning. For example, to
enforce the “trusted” model and only allow applications signed with a privileged certificate to run, use the following
provisioning document:

<wap-provisioningdoc>
<characteristic type=”SecurityPolicy”>

<!-- Disallow unsigned apps -->

<parm name="4102" value="0"/>

<!-- No Prompt -->
<parm name=”4122" value=”1”/>
</characteristic>
</wap-provisioningdoc>

For more information on various security options, refer to the Security Policy Settings topic in the latest Windows
Mobile documentation.

Application Deployment for Windows Mobile 4 - 3

Installing Certificates

Use XML provisioning to query and delete certificates from certificate stores. To add a new certificate the Privileged
Execution Trust Certificate Store, use the following sample provisioning document:

<wap-provisioningdoc>
<characteristic type=”CertificateStore”>
<characteristic type=”Privileged Execution Trust Authorities”>
<characteristic type=”657141E12FA45786F6A57CA6464032D4B3A55475">
<parm name=”EncodedCertificate" value="
This is sample text. This is sample text. This is sample text. This is sample text.
This is sample text. This is sample text. This is sample text. This is sample text.
This is sample text. This is sample text. This is sample text. This is sample text. ="/>
</characteristic>
</characteristic>
</characteristic>
</wap-provisioningdoc>

To create your own provisioning document with real certificate information:

1. Obtain a certificate from a security provider such as VeriSign.

2. Double-click on the certificate file (.CER) to open it.

3. Click on the Details tab and locate the Thumbprint field.

4. Copy the contents of the Thumbprint field and replace the value in the XML example above.

5. Click the Copy to File… button.

6. Click Next to start the Certificate Export Wizard.

7. Select Base-64 encoded X.509 (.CER) and then click Next.

8. Set the File Name to CertOutput.xml and click Next.

9. Click Finish to export the certificate.

10. Open the exported file, CertOutput.xml, in a text editor (i.e., NotePad).

11. Copy the contents of the file (excluding the first line, last line, and CR/LF) and replace the value of the

“EncodedCertificate” parameter in the xml example above.

Device Management Security

You can control access to certain device settings and security levels, such as installing applications and changing
security settings. Refer to the Windows Mobile Version 5.0 Help file for information on device management
security.

Remote API Security

The Remote API (RAPI) enables applications that run on a desktop to perform actions on a remote device. RAPI
provides the ability to manipulate the file system on the remote device, including the creation and deletion of files
and directories. By default, Zebra ships with RAPI in the restricted mode. Certain tools, such as RAPIConfig, may

4 - 4 MC70 Integrator Guide

not work properly. Refer to the Windows M obile V ersion 5.0 He lp file for finding information on Remote API secu rity
policies.

Packaging

NOTE Applications compiled for Windows Mobile are not backward-compatible with previous versions.

Packaging combines an application's executable files into a single file, called a package. This makes it easier to
deploy and install an application to the EDA. Package new applications and updates, such as new DLL files, as
CAB files, then deploy them to Windows Mobile devices. Refer to the Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 Help file for
information on CAB files.

Deployment

To install applications onto the EDA, developers package the application and all required files into a CAB file, then
load the file onto the EDA using one of the following options:

•

Microsoft ActiveSync 4.5 or higher

•

Storage Card

•

AirBEAM

•

MSP 3.X

•

Image Update (for updating the operating system).
Refer to the Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 Help file for information on CAB files.

Installation Using ActiveSync

To install an application package:

•

Connect the EDA to a host computer using ActiveSync. See Chapter 3, ActiveSync for more information.

•

Locate the package file on the host computer.

•

In ActiveSync on the host computer, open Explorer for the EDA.

•

Copy the CAB file from the host computer to the \temp directory on the EDA.

•

On the EDA, navigate to the \temp directory.

•

Tap on the application CAB file. The application installs on the EDA.

Installation Using Storage Card

To install an application package:

•

Copy the package CAB file to a storage card using an appropriate storage card reader.

•

Install the storage card into the EDA. See Multi Media Card (MMC) / Secure Digital (SD) Card on page 2-2 for

more information.

•

On the EDA, open File Explorer.

Application Deployment for Windows Mobile 4 - 5

•

Open the Storage Card directory.

•

Tap the package CAB file. The application installs on the EDA.

Installation Using AirBEAM

The AirBEAM Smart Client provides backward-compatible legacy AirBEAM functionality and backward-compatible
legacy MSP 2.x Level 2 Agent functionality.

Refer to the AirBEAM Smart Windows CE Client Product Reference Guide, p/n 72-63060-01, for instructions for
AirBEAM Smart client.

MSP 3.X

The MSP 3 Client Software is a set of software components that come pre-installed on the MC55. The MSP 3
Client software consists of the following components:

The RD Client provides support for MSP 3 Staging functionality, provides support for the MSP 3 Legacy Staging
process, and provides support for backwa rd -c om patible lega cy MSP 2.x Le ga cy Staging functionality.

The MSP 3 Agent provides MSP 3 Provisioning functionality and Control functionality when used with MSP 3.2
Control Edition.

Refer to the Mobility Services Platform 3.2 User’s Guide, p/n 72E-100158-06, for instructions for using the Rapid
Deployment and MSP3 Agent clients.

Image Update

Windows Mobile contains an Image Update feature that upd ates all operating system component s. All updates are
distributed as update packages. Update packages can contain either partial or complete updates for the operating
system. Zebra distributes the update packages on the Support Central Web Site, http://

To update an operating system component, copy the update package to the EDA using one of a variety of
transports, including ActiveSync, an SD memory card, or AirBEAM. Then, initiate the update using one of the
following methods:

•

Double-tap the package file in File Explorer (similar to extracting a CAB file)

•

Perform a special boot sequence that initiates the update.

•

Use AirBEAM.

NOTE The EDA must have at least 5 MB of free space to perform an OS update.

To initiate an update:

1. Go to the Support Central web site, http://www.zebra.com/support.

2. Download the appropriate update package.

www.zebra.com/support.

3. Copy the update package to either the \temp directory on the EDA, or to a storage card.

4. Connect the EDA to AC power. See Chapter 2, Accessories.

5. Simultaneously press the Power button and the 1 and 9 ke ys.

6. Immediately, as soon as the device starts to boot and before the splash screen is visible, press and hold the

left scan button.

4 - 6 MC70 Integrator Guide

7. The Update Loader application first looks for a file on a storage card. If it does not find it, it looks in the \temp

directory.
When it finds the appropriate file, it loads the package onto the EDA. A progress bar displays until the update

completes.

8. The EDA re-boots.

9. The calibration screen appears.

NOTE When initiating an update via a boot sequence, the update loade r looks for updates first on the root of an

installed SD card and then in the \temp folder on the EDA’s persistent storage volume. A response file,
pkgs.lst, indicates which files to update. In most cases, Zebra provides this pkgs.lst file with the update and
you should only modify it when updating a splash screen partition. See Creating a Splash Screen for more
information.

Creating a Splash Screen

Use a bitmap file to create a customized splash screens for the EDA. Use Image Update with a bitmap file, rather
than a package file, to update the splash screen.

To create a custom splash screen:

1. Create a .bmp file using a graphic program with the following specifications:

•

Size: 240 x 296.

•

Colors: 8 bits per pixel (256 colors) for color displays.

2. Modify the bitmap file and save.

To load the splash screen on the EDA:

1. Create a text file named pkgs.lst which contains the name of the bmp file. For example, mysplash.bmp.

2. Copy the bmp file and the pkgs.lst file to one of the following:

•

SD card root directory

•

EDA’s \temp directory

•

EDA’s \Windows directory.

3. If using an SD card, insert the SD card into the EDA.

4. Perform a cold boot.

5. Press the trigger or side scan button for 5 seconds while booting to invoke the Update Loader and install the

splash screen.

XML Provisioning

To configure the settings on an EDA, use XML provisioning. To install an XML provisioning file on the EDA, create
a Cabinet Provisioning File (CPF). A CPF file is similar to a CAB file and contains just one file: _setup.xml. Like a
CAB file, the CPF extension is associated with WCELoad.EXE. Opening a CPF extracts the XML code and u ses it
to provision and configure the EDA. The user receives an e-mail notification indicating success or failure.

XML provisioning provides the ability to configure various features of the EDA (i.e., registry and file system).
However, some settings require security privileges. To change registry settings via a CPF file, you must have

Application Deployment for Windows Mobile 4 - 7

certain privileges (roles). Some registry keys require you to simply be an Authenticated User, while other registry
keys require you to be a Manager. Refer to the Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 Help file, Metabase Settings for
Registry Configuration Service Provider section, for the default role settings in Windows Mobile 5.0.

For those registry settings that require the Manager role, the CPF file must be signed with a privileged certificate
installed on the device. Refer to the Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 Help file and the Windows Mobile 5.0 SDK for
instructions and sample test certificates.

Creating an XML Provisioning File

To create a .cpf file:

1. Create a valid provisioning XML file named _setup.xml using an XML editor or the tools supplied with Visual

Studio 2005. (For exam ple, use the SampleReg.xml sample created in the RegMerge section and rename it
_setup.xml.) Ensure the file contains the required p arameters for the operatio n. Refer to the Microsoft Windows
Mobile 5.0 Help file for information.

2. In the Windows Mobile 5.0 tools directory on the desktop computer (typically \Program Files\Windows CE

Tools\wce500\Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC SDK\Tools), run the Makecab.exe utility, using the following
syntax to create a .cpf file from the _setup.xml file:

MakeCab.exe /D COMPRESS=OFF _setup.xml myOutCpf

NOTE COMPRESS=OFF is required for backward compatibility with Pocket PC.

3. Optionally, use the Authenticode tools to sign the .cpf file.

4. Tap the filename to install.

5. Certain applications and settings require a cold boot to take af fect. In these cases, cold boot the EDA. Refer to

the Windows Mobile Version 5.0 Help file for more information.

XML Provisioning vs. RegMerge and Copy File

Prior to Windows Mobile, Zebra used two drivers (RegMerge and CopyFiles) to update the registry and to copy
files during a cold boot. With Windows Mobile, Zebra recommends using XML provisionin g instead. RegMerge and
CopyFiles are supported for backward compatibility but Zebra may eliminate support in the future. The following
sections provide examples of how RegMerge and CopyFiles were used, and how to perform the same function
using XML provisioning.

RegMerge

RegMerge.dll is a built-in driver that allows updating the registry during a clean boot. RegMerge runs very early in
the boot process and looks for registry files (.reg files) in certain Flash File System folders (i.e., \Application) during
a clean boot. It then merges the registry changes into the system registry located in RAM.

The following example uses RegMerge to set a registry key:
SampleReg.reg

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Hardware\DeviceMap\Backlight]
"BacklightIntensity"=dword:00000036

The following example uses XML provisioning to perform the same task:

CopyFiles

CopyFiles copies files from one folder to another on a clean boot. During a clean boot CopyFiles looks for files with
a .CPY extension in the root of the Application FFS partition. These files are text files containing the source and
destination for the desired files to copy, separated by “>”.

The following example uses CopyFiles to copy a file from the \Application folder to the \Windows folder:
SampleCpy.cpy

The following example uses XML provisioning to perform the same task:

Windows Mobile contains three types of file storage:

•

Random Access Memory (RAM)

•

Persistent Storage

•

Application folder.

Application Deployment for Windows Mobile 4 - 9

Random Access Memory

Executing programs use RAM to store data. Data stored in RAM is lost upon a warm boot. RAM also included a
volatile file storage area called Cache Disk.

Volatile File Storage (Cache Disk)

Windows Mobile memory architecture uses persistent storage for all files, registry settings, and database ob jects to
ensure data is retained even after a power failure. Persistent storage is implemented using Flash memory
technology which is generally slower than volatile RAM memory. In certain situations the speed of the operation is
more important than the integrity of the data. For these situations , Ze bra ha s pr ovided a sma ll vo latile File Storage
volume, accessed as the Cache Disk folder. Disk operations to the Cache Disk folder are much faster than to any
of the persistent storage volumes, but data is lost across warm boots and power interruptions. Note that a backup
battery powers RAM memory, including the Cache Disk, when you remove the main battery for a short period of
time.

The EDA uses the Cache Disk for temporary data that can be restored from other sources, for example, for
temporarily “caching” HTML web pages by a browser or generating formatted files to send to a printer. Both
situations benefit from the increased speed of the cache disk, but you can restore the data if needed.

DO NOT use the Cache Disk as a method to improve applic atio n per fo rm a nce. Ana lyz e ap plic ations that perform
slower in persistent storage to optimize disk access. Common areas for optimization include minimizing the
number of reads and writes to a file, removing unneeded debug logging, and minimizing file flushing or closing
files.

Persistent Storage

Windows Mobile protects all data and applications from power-relate d loss. Because Windows Mobile mounts the
entire file system and registry in persistent storage (rather than using RAM), MC70 devices provide a reliable
storage platform even in the absence of battery po wer.

Persistent storage provides application developers with a reliable storage system available through the standard
file system and registry APIs. Persistent storage is optimized for large reads and writes; therefore, applications
reading and writing data in large chunks tend to outperform those applications reading and writing small blocks of
data. Data in persistent storage is lost upon a clean boot.

Persistent storage contains all the directories under the root directory except for Application, Cache Disk, and
Storage Card (if a storage card is installed). Persistent storage is approximately 60 MB (formatted).

Application Folder

The Application folder is a super-persistent storage that is persistent even af ter a clean boot. Accessing dat a in th e
Application folder is slower than accessing persistent storage. The Application folder is used for deployment and
device-unique data. For example, network profiles can be stor ed in th e App lication folder so that conn ection to th e
network is available after a cold boot. The Application folder is approximately 20 MB (formatted).

System Configuration Manager

Symbol Configuration Manager (SCM) is a utility that runs on the host computer and is used to create configuration
files. These files, when deployed to an vehicle computer, set configuration parameters for that device. The
configurable options for a vehicle computer are defined in an XML file that is available on the Support Central.
SCM is also available on Support Central.

SCM eliminates the potential user errors that occur when manually editing registry settings.

File Types

SCM uses three types of files:

•

Symbol Configuration Template (.SCT) files are XML files that define the configurable parameters for a

device.

•

Registry Configuration Service Provider XML files for device provisioning.

•

CAB Provisioning Format (.CPF) file which is a .CAB archive that contains the provisioning XML. This file is

downloaded to the EDA and merged upon a cold boot.

User Interface

SCM's user interface consists of a tree control on the left side of the window which displays all the configuration
categories, and a data grid table on the right which displays all the configurable controls for the selected category.

Figure 4-1 shows the main window for a device’s .sct file.

Chapter 5 MC7004/94 - GSM Configuration

Introduction

This chapter explains how to verify MC7004/94 service on an Enhanced Data rates for Global Evolution (EDGE)
wireless network and establish settings. EDGE is also known as Enhanced General Packet Radio Service
(EGPRS).

EDGE networks deliver mobile voice and data services, such as Short Message Service (SMS)/Text Messaging,
with full roaming capabilities across the world. General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) enabled networks offer
Internet-based content and packet-based data services. This enables services such as internet browsing, e-mail
on the move, powerful visual communications, multimedia messages, and location-based services.

When using the EDA as a phone, services can include speed dialing, call tracking, voice mail, call forwarding,
conference calling, and caller ID, depending on the type of service.

Also use the integrated phone as a modem to connect the EDA to an ISP or work network. The GSM/GPRS
enabled EDA can connect to the Internet or work network over GPRS, using Cellular Line, or using the modem
specified by the mobile phone service provider.

NOTE Before using an EDA on a wireless network, first select a provider, establish a voice and data-enabled service

plan, and configure the EDA (where applicable). Refer to the MC70 User Guide for information on how to use
the phone and services.

Chapter 6 MC7095 - CDMA Configuration

Introduction

This chapter explains how to activate an MC7095 EDA on a CDMA wireless network and establish settings.
CDMA is a form of wireless multiplexing in which data (e.g., Short Message Service) can be sent over multiple

frequencies simultaneously, optimizing the use of available bandwidth. In an CDMA system data is broken into
packets, each of which are given a unique identifier, so that they can be sent out over multiple frequencies and
then re-built in the correct order by the receiver.

When using the MC7095 EDA as a phone, services can include speed dialing, call tracking, voice mail, call
forwarding, conference calling and caller ID, depending on the type of service.

The integrated phone in the MC7095 can also be used as a modem to connect the MC7095 to an ISP or work
network. The MC7095 can connect to the Int er ne t or work network using Cellular Line, or using the modem
specified by the mobile phone service provider.

NOTE Before the MC7095 can be used on a CDMA wireless network, a provider must be selected, a voice and

data-enabled service plan must be established and the MC7095 must be properly configured (where
applicable).

Refer to the MC70 User Guide for information on how to use the phone and services.

Quick Startup Steps

NOTE With active service from a provider, phone calls are established with or without a headset. A headset MUST be

connected for all voice call conversations.

To start using the MC7095 for phone and data connections:

1. Install the MC7095 main battery (Installing and Removing the Main Battery on page 1-3).

2. Charge the main battery and backup battery (Charging the Battery on page 1-5).

3. Start the MC7095 (see Powering On the EDA on page 1-7).

4. Activate the phone (MC7095 CDMA Phone Activation on page 6-2).

(IOTA) session for a data connection. This data connection auto-updates the Vision profile (see Data Settings

on page 6-9).

Verizon Activation

The Verizon Activation Wizard allows automatic activation. To activate the MC7095 using the automated service,
the MC7095 attempts to call the network on a special numb er that auto matically downloads the phone numb er and
identification codes from the network.

Verizon automatically downloads the provisioning data. This process is invisible to the user and occurs once, after
account activation, during the first data connection attempt.

NOTE After an MC7095 is provisioned for Verizon wireless service, it is strongly recommended that no other service

provider loads are downloaded to the MC7095 and no changes are made to any of the provi si oning
information.

To activate the phone using the Verizon automated service:

1. Ensure the MC7095 is in a strong signal area.

2. Tap Start > Phone > Menu > Activation Wizard... .
