AirCard 580 when not in use. Place a checkmark in the
check box entitled, “Lock Card” to enable this feature. By
enabling this feature, the AirCard 580 locks, disabling any
connection attempts, even if Watcher is set to "Auto
Connect". Each time you use the AirCard 580, you are asked

last four digits of your Directory Number. To change your
code, select “Change Lock Code” and follow the on-screen
instructions.
