Alerts are windows generated by Watcher in response to your selections. Close an alert window by selecting Yes, No, or OK. You also have the option to “turn off” an alert so that it never appears again either from the alert window itself, or by manually shutting it off. To manually shut off an alert, access the Settings menu in Full Mode view or click the System Tray Icon in the system tray of your notebook PC to access the shortcut menu. (See Chapter 4, pages 20-26).

Following are different alerts that may appear during use:

3G service alert

If 3G service is currently unavailable at your location, an alert appears explaining that you need to try to reconnect again.

Auto-connect alert

Watcher includes a convenient auto-connect feature. When a call is lost due to poor signal strength, Watcher automatically attempts to reconnect to the Verizon Wireless network. The auto-connect alert appears whenever this instance occurs.

Auto-connection failure alert

The auto-connect feature attempts to reconnect to the Verizon Wireless network if a call has been lost. If, after three times, the auto-connect feature is unsuccessful, the auto-connection failure alert appears. Click Yes to resume auto-connection attempts.

Call lost alert

A visual and audible alert occurs whenever a connection has been inadvertently lost, due to poor signal strength or being outside a local coverage area. Select OK to acknowledge the notice and close the window.

Card eject warning

This warning appears when you exit Watcher. Follow the instructions displayed for proper removal of the AirCard 580.
