2

Before you can begin using the AirCard USB modem, you must:

1.Install the AirCard USB modem enabling software and driver.

2.Activate an account and configure the AirCard USB modem to use your account (unless the AirCard USB modem has been pre‐activated).

This section provides an overview of this process.

The AirCard 595U software

The AirCard USB modem comes with this software:

Watcher application that you use to manage the AirCard USB modem and monitor your connections

The driver software that provides the interface between the AirCard USB modem and your Windows operating system

The Watcher software must be installed before you insert the AirCard USB modem for the first time. Detailed instructions are provided in “Installation” on page 15.

Account activation and configuration

To use the AirCard USB modem, you must have an account with a CDMA service provider. The process of setting up an account is called activation.

If you purchased the AirCard USB modem directly from a service provider, you may already have an account; your AirCard USB modem may be pre‐activated.

Otherwise, run Watcher and the Activation Wizard, which guides you through the activation and configuration process. (Depending on your configuration, Watcher and the Activation Wizard may start automatically.)
