or double-click the desktop shortcut.
Select Start > Programs > Watcher for AirCard 700 Series
If Watcher detects that no profile has been set up, you are
prompted, “Would you like to configure a profile now?”

If this prompt does not appear, your AirCard may have
been preconfigured. You can verify that you have a profile

cally or manually, or whether you are required to provide
a password each time you make a connection:
