Watcher is the application that allows you to manage and monitor the connection between the AirCard 555 network card and the CDMA network. You use Watcher to:
•Determine your signal strength, roaming status, 1xRTT availability, and other network connection parameters
•Initiate voice and data calls
•View call statistics and SMS messages
•Enable and disable features like Always On Top (that allows you to set the Watcher window to display in front of other application windows), and KeyGuard (that prevents accidental dialing)
•Set options related to SMS messages, sounds played, voice calls, and the lock code security feature (that you can use to prevent others from using your AirCard)
Anytime you use the AirCard you must run Watcher.
Depending on your settings in the Options window, Watcher launches automatically anytime you insert the AirCard 555. You can also launch Watcher by:
•
Double clicking the Watcher icon on your desktop
•Selecting Start > Programs > Sierra Wireless >
AirCard 555 > Watcher 555 for Verizon Wireless
