•
Laptop clip
Note: To meet FCC (regulatory) requirements, use only the supplied

To install the modem drivers and software, you do not need an
installation CD. Your modem uses the Sierra Wireless
TRU‐Install feature. The drivers and software are installed
when you insert the modem into your computer and go

required.
System components
Your modem is just one part of a system designed to provide
you with a wide range of communication features. Every
component of the system is needed to enable these capabilities.
Your host computing device
Your notebook or desktop computer hosts the modem
hardware and runs the communication software: your web
browser or e‐mail application, and Watcher—the enabling
software for the modem.
You may also have other software on your computer that can
be used wirelessly with the modem, such as: file transfer appli‐
cations (FTP), chat or instant messaging, a
(Virtual
Private Network) client, client software for a corporate server
application.
