Some features described in this manual may not be supported
by your service provider or may not be available with your
network account. For details of the services and accounts
available, contact your service provider.
Wireless modem
Once the modem is installed and configured, you can use it to
connect to the
network. You just insert the modem,
start Watcher and allow it to authenticate your account on the
network, then launch your Internet browser —you’re online!
TRU-Install
TRU‐Install™ is a Sierra Wireless feature that installs the
necessary software and drivers the first time you insert the
modem into your computer. An installation CD is not
required.
TRU-Locate
With TRU‐Locate™, you can use location‐based services (GPS)
to query, for example, the network for information on points of
interest (POI) that are near your current location, or display
driving instructions.
Note: TRU-Locate is subject to feature availability.
Your modem requires an unobstructed view of GPS satellites
(in the sky), and, like any other GPS device, might not perform
well within forested areas or near tall buildings.
Depending on your account, you may be charged for each
position fix or after you have performed a certain number of
fixes. For details, contact your service provider.
Depending on the mechanism that the network and your
modem use to obtain location information, GPS may not be
supported:
•
If youʹre roaming
•
If you do not have network coverage
•
Due to other reasons.
If you’re having problems using GPS, contact your service
provider.
