Caution:
Do not insert the Turbo Card until you have finished installing the
Mobile Connect software and are instructed to do so.
Mobile Connect from Bell is a software application which allows you to
manage your wireless connections, both over the data optimized high
speed mobile network from Bell and over 802.11 Wi-Fi. You will need to
install this software and then select the Turbo Card when prompted to
do so.
1. Insert the installation CD into your CD-ROM drive. The Mobile
Connect installer should start automatically. If it does not start,
select Start, Run and enter d:\setup.exe, where d: is your CD-ROM
drive letter.
2. Follow the Mobile Connect InstallShield® Wizard. It will guide you
through the process of installing the Mobile Connect application.
Use the Next and Back buttons to navigate through the installation
wizard. To continue with the installation, you must click Yes to accept
the terms of the License Agreement.
Installing the Mobile Connect software
Before activating your Turbo Card, ensure you have the
following information:
• Your Mobile Directory Number (MDN) _________________________________________
• Your Mobile Station ID (MSID) _________________________________________
• Your Unlock Key _________________________________________

If you don’t have an account or a data rate plan, go to your nearest Bell
store, Bell wireless dealer or speak with your Bell account representative
to get set up.
• The Turbo Card’s Electronic Serial Number
(ESN) is an 11-digit number
located

5. Mobile Connect will also prompt you to import Wi-Fi profiles from
your existing computer configuration. This allows it to manage all
your wireless connections. If you would like Mobile Connect to
import your Wi-Fi network profiles and security keys, click Yes and
follow the onscreen instructions in the Wi-Fi Profile Import Wizard.
3. Select Restart or Finish to complete the installation. Once the
installation procedure is complete, a restart may be required. If a
restart is not required, Mobile Connect will launch automatically.
If your computer restarts, launch Mobile Connect application by
clicking on the Mobile Connect desktop icon.
4. The first time Mobile Connect runs, it will check for incompatible
applications. Often these are utility programs supplied by your
Wi-Fi device or laptop vendor. Mobile Connect will replace these
programs, so it is safe to stop them from running by pressing the
Stop All button. Once all the incompatible applications are stopped,
as shown in the window below, click OK to continue.

cards your laptop vendor may have left in the card slot. When

Tray that the Turbo Card has been installed and is ready to use, you
can click Next.
