If an icon of the Compass USB
modem with an “X” is displayed, 3G Watcher is
unable to detect the modem. This indicates that
the modem is not fully inserted into the computer
or the device is powered down.
You may be able to resolve this problem by
restarting 3G Watcher, stopping, removing, and
reinserting the Compass USB modem, or
restarting your computer.
