Operating the MP Modem

Note: Depending on the
operating mode, it may not be
necessary to run 3G Watcher to
use the MP modem, but it does
provide useful status information.

Resetting the MP modem

The reset button for the MP modem is on the top of the
housing.

To reset the MP modem, press the
button until all four indicator
lights illuminate. (Do not use
sharp implements that might
puncture the rubber.)

Resetting the MP modem is equiv­
alent to turning the MP modem off
and on. This terminates any data
connection and causes the MP
modem to perform a self-test.
(Stored settings are not lost.)
