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.

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 
Sierra Wireless Inc > 3G Watcher > 3G Watcher
