The standard Windows control buttons in the upper right
corner of the window are used to minimize or close Watcher.
When minimized, Watcher does not appear as a taskbar
button. Instead, an icon is shown in the system tray , usually at
the right end of the taskbar. (See “Minimized icons” on
page 32.)
Components of the Watcher
window
The window has three areas that display messages and icons:
the Connection Status Area ( page 30 ), Call Status Area
( page 31 ), and Indicator Area ( page 32 ). These areas are shown
in Figure 6 ‐ 1 that follows.
A menu bar is located on the upper left side of the window.

Window controls
• The
Minimize
button closes the Watcher window but leaves
the application running. When Watcher is minimized, you
can use the Watcher icon in the system tray to determine
the Compass USB modem status. (See page 32 .) This icon
replaces a taskbar button for Watcher.
Once minimized, you can redisplay the Watcher window
by selecting the Watcher icon in the system tray. You can
also restore the window by double ‐ clicking the desktop
shortcut or launching Watcher from the Start menu.
