• Understanding alert 

windows

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:

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

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.

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.

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.

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