Update System

All PCs have an internal clock called the

Clock with CDMA

system clock. Depending on your

time during start-

configuration, the time according to this

up

clock is usually displayed in the status

 

area, in the lower right corner of your

 

screen.

 

Generally you would use the Windows

 

Control Panel to change the time on the

 

system clock. This field gives you the

 

option of setting the time of your system

 

clock automatically from the CDMA

 

network each time you connect. This might

 

be useful to you if you frequently change

 

time zones. Use the check box to enable

 

and disable this feature. (It is enabled when

 

checked.)

 

 

Outlook

Set Watcher to automatically synchronize

Synchronization

your phone book entries with your Contacts

(Contacts only)

entries in Microsoft® Outlook®.

 

If you do not select this check box, then

 

changes you make to the phone book will

 

not be reflected in Outlook. To synchronize

 

the two: once online, from the Phone Book,

 

click File > Synchronize with Outlook.

 

 

Enable Venturi

Venturi Client is compression software that

Client

increases data throughput between the

 

CDMA network and the AirCard, effectively

 

increasing the data transmission speed.

 

This compression can only be used where

 

it is available on the network. The Venturi

 

Client software necessary to using this

 

compression, is normally installed when

 

you install Watcher and the Network

 

Adapter Manager

 

When this option is enabled (assuming the

 

Venturi Client software is installed) Venturi

 

compression is used where available to

 

increase throughput. When disabled,

 

Venturi compression is not used even

 

when it is available on the network.

 

Use the check box to enable and disable

 

support for Venturi compression.
