Lock modem

The Lock Code feature can be used to

 

prevent others from using your AirCard and

 

your account. When the Lock Code is

 

enabled, you are prompted to enter a code

 

any time Watcher is launched, and if the

 

wrong code is entered, Watcher closes.

 

(This makes it impossible to use the

 

AirCard without knowing the lock code.) By

 

default the lock code is the last four digits of

 

your phone number.

 

To disable the feature, select never from

 

the drop-down menu. To enable the

 

feature, so that you are prompted for a lock

 

code the next time you launch Watcher,

 

select on power up from the drop-down

 

menu. (The Lock Code feature will then

 

remain enabled until you disable it by

 

selecting never in this field.)

 

 

Change Lock

This button allows you to set a new lock
