No device detected / Searching

Watcher did not detect the modem. The Connect button is unavailable.

2.If this message is still displayed, uninstall (page 37) and reinstall Watcher.

Not activated / <Carrier name>

If Watcher intermittently displays “Not activated” and then the carrier name, you must activate your modem before you can use it. Use the Activation Assistant (page 25).

Activating

Your modem is being activated.

If this message is displayed for several minutes and no Watcher‐related “Alert” windows are displayed, close and restart Watcher.

Updating User Profile

Watcher is performing account setup for you by making a connection to the CDMA network and using a secure Internet connection to download account parameters to your modem.

Carrier name only

When only the carrier name is displayed (Watcher doesn’t display, for example, “Connecting” or “Connected”, or doesn’t intermittently display “Not activated” and then the carrier name), Watcher is ready to make a connection to the network.
