Does the latest version of Watcher work with my other Sierra
Wireless modems?
Yes, Watcher is backwards compatible with all Sierra Wireless USB and Express-
Card modems. It is not compatible with non-Sierra Wireless products. You can set
Watcher to automatically check for updates. For more information, see the Watcher
Help (select Help > Help topics).
When do I use the extension cable?
If the orientation of your computer’s USB slot or the thickness of your computer are
such that pressure is applied to the end or side of the modem, you may damage the
modem or your computer. In such cases, do not insert the modem directly into your
computer’s USB slot. Use the USB extension cable instead.
