Questions
Does the latest version of Watcher work with
my other Sierra Wireless modems?
Y
es, Watcher is backwards com
p
atible with all Sierra
Wireless USB and ExpressCard modems. It is not
compatible with non-Sierra Wireless products.
8
When do I use the extension cable?
If the orientation of your computer’s USB port or the thick-
ness of your computer are such that pressure is applied
to the end or side of the AirCard 330U, you may damage
the AirCard 330U or your computer. In such cases, do not
insert the AirCard 330U directly into your computer’s USB
port. Use the USB extension cable and laptop clip instead.
What are some ways I can optimize my data
usage?
• Close any unnecessary applications running in the
background.
• Set the web browser’s home page to a web site with
minimal graphics (e.g. Google™).
• Configure automatic software updates to notify you
before installation begins.
• Configure Outlook®, Entourage®, or Mail to retrieve
emails less frequently or to retrieve them manually.
• Configure Outlook, Entourage, or Mail to download
email headers only (i.e. not the full email).
What tools are available to help me monitor
my data usage?
You can keep track of your data usage in Watcher. For
details, see the User Guide (available in Windows — Start
> All Programs > Sierra Wireless and in Mac Finder,
select Applications > Sierra Wireless).
You can set Watcher to automatically check for updates.
For more information see the Watcher Help (select Help >
Help topics.)

Unable to connect?
1. Check the physical connection of the AirCard 330U.
(Remove and reinsert it.)
2. Try another USB port. Do not use a hub or any external
equipment.
Once connected, what do I do if I have trouble
with my email account or Internet browser?
1. Check the browser settings:
a. Select File. Ensure there is no check mark next to
“Work Offline”.
b. Select Tools > Internet Options.
• General tab. Delete Cookies and Temp files,
and clear History.
• Privacy tab. Disable the Pop-up Blocker.
• Connections tab > LAN settings. Ensure that
all check boxes are clear (no check marks).
• Advanced tab. Restore Default settings.
2. Consult the help systems on your email or Internet
browser to find troubleshooting help specific to what
you are doing.
