Watcher is the program you use to manage and monitor your
AirCard connections. Watcher allows you to:
• Create an account profile. (This is explained under ‘The
SIM Card and Your Account” on page 13.)
• Determine signal strength, roaming status, GPRS avail-
ability, and other network connection parameters
• Monitor the status of the AirCard and GSM service
• Initiate data connections
• Make and receive phone calls
• Send and receive SMS messages
• Enable or disable SIM security that prevents others from
using your SIM card if it is lost or stolen
• Set options related to battery power consumption
• Set options related to notifications and the Watcher
window
Note: It takes up to 20 seconds
for Watcher to become fully
functional after launch.
If you set your account profile to autoconnect, you do not
need to run Watcher when you use the AirCard, but Watcher
does provide useful status information.
