Account configuration procedures

The final step to making the AirCard USB modem operational is configuring it to use your CDMA service provider account. The process of activation configures your AirCard USB modem with the required account parameters (phone number, username, password, etc.).

If you purchased a pre‐activated AirCard USB modem, this step is not necessary. Once the application software and driver are installed, the AirCard USB modem is ready for use.

Otherwise, you must use the Activation Wizard to activate and configure your account.

Activation Wizard

The Activation Wizard walks you through the process of configuring an account. The process and options vary based on the service provider.

This section is a guide only. Consult the Quick Start Guide, and follow the directions on screen and instructions given by your service provider representative.

To activate an account and configure your AirCard USB modem for use:

If your AirCard USB modem does not have an activated account, and Watcher has started automatically, then the Activation Wizard should start automatically. If this does not happen:

1.Ensure Watcher is running. If it is not, double‐click the

Watcher icon on your desktop.

2.Start the Activation Wizard: select TOOLS >

Activation Wizard.

To begin activation of the AirCard USB modem, click Next.
