When you first turn on your new Xoom, you need to work through a few setup processes. You've probably already done that, but if not, they include:

• Charging the device (if it isn't already charged)
• Choosing a language
• Activating your device using either Verizon's cellular towers or your wireless network.

If you opted to buy the Xoom outright from a Verizon store or online, and you did not sign up for any data plan when you purchased it, you can't activate the device on the Verizon network. You need to activate it using a Wi-Fi network.

1. Turn on the Xoom. It will try to activate itself on the Verizon cellular network.
