2. Using the Modem
The Wireless Broadband Modem can be used in stationary or mobile
environments. Once the software has been installed, simply plug the
modem into your laptop or desktop PC using the Ethernet or USB cable
that is included in your packaging. It is recommended that you charge the
modem for three hours on an ongoing basis if you consistently require
portability. To charge the modem, simply connect it to a power outlet.
Monitoring the connection using Mobility Manager
After installation, and each time you connect the powered up Wireless
Broadband Modem to your powered up PC, the Mobility Manager icon
appears on your desktop.
Use the Mobility Manager application to view everything from the signal
strength of your wireless network card, to the number of kilobytes sent
and received during your current session.
Mobility Manager NOTE: if for any reason, the Mobility Manager does not
pop up automatically, click the modem icon on your desktop or system
tray.
