When you get your debit card, there's a sticker with an 800 number on it which you call to activate it. Signing it does not activate it, and you shouldn't sign it - signing it removes the requirement to see ID with a card purchase, and, while many cashiers don't ask for ID, every now and then, you'll find one who does, and this might prevent a lost or stolen card from being used fraudulently.
