Note: Your profiles are stored on your MP modem —not on the SIM card. If you use your SIM card in another device you must create a profile on that device.

Note: If the version of firmware on your MP modem is not current with your version of 3G Watcher, you will be prompted to update your firmware when you launch the program. This update ensures proper operation of your MP modem and may take up to 15 minutes.

Hardware and Software Installation

Set up connection profiles

Unless your MP modem was pre‐configured by your reseller or service provider, you must set up at least one connection profile before you can use it to access the Internet. Some service providers offer a single profile. Some offer separate profiles for separate purposes (for example: one for web browsing and one to use while accessing a corporate network over a VPN). You may also require different profiles for different types of data connections, or if you have multiple SIMs. The MP modem allows you to create up to three profiles.

Create a profile

3G Watcher includes pre‐defined profiles for many different service providers. You can either use one of these profiles or create a profile manually by entering the necessary infor‐ mation.

To create a profile for a high‐speed connection:

1.Ensure that you are not connected to the network.

2.Start 3G Watcher by choosing Start > Programs >

Sierra Wireless Inc > 3G Watcher > 3G Watcher, or double click the desktop shortcut.

3.From the main window, select Tools > Connections.

4.Click the Add new profile button .
