My AirCard 580 becomes noticeably hot after using it for a
while, is this normal?
Like all wireless network cards, the AirCard 580 generates heat
in its normal operation and is also heated by the host
computer. For this reason it is recommended that you allow
the AirCard 580 to cool down after extensive operation so that
it may become cool to the touch before you remove it from
your notebook PC.
How do I log in to my Virtual Private Network (VPN)?
Once you establish a connection to the Internet with the
AirCard 580 and Watcher, open the VPN application and sign
in as you normally do.
