The Activation Wizard
The Activation Wizard guides you through the process of
setting up your account.
There are two methods of activation:
• Manual activation involves you phoning your service
provider, exchanging information, and entering your
account information into the appropriate fields in the
wizard.
• Automated activation involves the MP 595 modem
placing a call to a special number at the service provider.
Much of the process is automated.
The wizard varies based on your service provider, and it may
be that only one option is available to you.
To start the activation wizard:
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
is important to ensure proper
operation of your MP modem.
The update may take as long as
fifteen minutes. 1. Start 3G Watcher by choosing Start > Programs > Sierra
Wireless > 3G Watcher> 3G Watcher , or double click the
desktop shortcut.
2. If the wizard does not launch automatically, select Tools >
Activation Wizard… .
3. On the first window, select the manual or automated
activation option (if available) and select
Next .
Manual activation
The wizard advises you of the information you need to

Automated activation
The wizard advises you of the information you need to

Step 7 — Test the system
Finally, test the system to:

data over the network.

you have connected a GPS antenna).
