Mine did about the same thing. The registration seemed to fail.
But, then it seemed to be all OK and registered the next time I
tried it maybe 5 or 10 minutes later. The attempt that claimed
to fail was clearly a first attempt to register it, since I had
just acquired the device and it was the fist time I had turned it
on anywhere near campus. Anyway, it seems to work now with no problem.
