Account configuration
procedures
The final step to making the modem operational is configuring
it to use your CDMA service provider account. The process of
activation configures your modem with the required account
parameters (phone number, username, password, and so on).
If you purchased a pre‐activated modem, this step is not
necessary. Once the application software and drivers are
installed, the modem is ready for use. Proceed to "Watcher
Basics (Windows)" on page 31 or "Watcher Lite Basics (Mac)"
on page 41.
Otherwise, you must use the Activation Wizard (Windows;
described below) or Activation Assistant (Mac; see page
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.
If your 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.
