Preparing for Initial Use on the Marathon
Install SIM Card
If using a CDMA carrier such as Verizon, skip this step because a SIM card is not used. If needed see
Installing a SIM
Card
(page 5-3) in the Marathon.
Load Firmware
While the OneClick Internet utility is pre-installed, it is necessary to load the GOBI radio firmware for your selected carrier
such as AT&T, T-Mobile or Verizon.
Note: For carriers requiring a SIM card, the firmware may automatically be selected when a SIM card is installed in the
Marathon.
Doubletap the OneClick Internet icon on the Marathon desktop.
Tap the Settings button and select the Firmware tab. Select the firmware for your carrier from the list and tap Change.
For more details, see
Using Connection Manager
(page 8-5) and the
Firmware Tab
(page 8-14).
Activation
This step is only necessary for Verizon.
You need the IMEI number for the Marathon when you contact Verizon prior to activating service on the Marathon. The IMEI
number can be found on the Settings > Info tab, see
Info Tab
(page 8-13).
The activation screen is displayed automatically after the Verizon firmware is selected.
1. If the activation screen is not automatically displayed, doubletap the OneClick Internet icon on the desktop.
2. Select Settings > General tab and tap the Activate button.
3. Make sure Automated Activation is selected and tap Next.
