Watcher is the application that allows you to manage and monitor

the connection between the AirCard ExpressCard and the CDMA

network. You use Watcher to:

• Determine your signal strength, roaming status, 3G high-speed

data availability, and other network connection parameters

• Initiate data calls

• View call statistics

• Receive and send SMS messages

• Customize features and options

Depending on Watcher settings, you may be able to connect to the

CDMA network without starting Watcher—simply by launching

whatever application you want to use (such as your web browser or

e-mail application). However, Watcher and its icon in the system tray

won’t be available for you to monitor the status of the connection.

Starting and closing Watcher

Depending on your settings in the Options window, Watcher launches

automatically anytime you insert the AirCard ExpressCard. You can

also launch Watcher by:

• Double-clicking the Watcher icon on your desktop

• Selecting:

In Windows Vista or Windows XP:

Start > All Programs >

Sierra Wireless > 3G Wireless Module > EVDO Watcher

In Windows 2000: Start > Programs > Sierra Wireless >

3G Wireless Module > EVDO Watcher

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 28.)
