Power
When the modem is plugged into an electrical outlet, a lightning bolt icon
appears in the bottom right corner of the Mobility Manager. Your battery
is being charged at the point. When the modem is using battery power,
the battery icon appears instead. You can use this to monitor your
battery power.
Close, Exit, and End Session
• To Close the Mobility Manager window, click the X in the top
right corner. Note that this does not end the session (break
the connection). To bring it back, click the modem icon on the
system tray or desktop.
• To Exit the Mobility Manager program, but keep the modem
session running, click “Options,” then “Exit.” This will remove
the modem icon from the system tray. To re-enter the
program, click the icon on your desktop. The modem window
will pop up again, and the icon will reappear on the system
tray. Note that exiting the Mobility Manager application does
not end your wireless broadband connection or the session.
• To End Session, simply unplug the device, shut down your
PC, or click “Options,” then “Disable.”
• The Disable function is used to quickly end the session without
having to shut down your PC. This is especially practical in
places that allow for electronic devices, but not wireless
communication (airplanes, hospitals). To begin another
session, click “Options,” then “Enable.”
Disconnecting the modem
• If you are connected through the Ethernet cable, simply unplug
the cable from the modem and PC to disconnect the modem.
• If you are connected through the USB cable, disconnect by
following these steps:
1. Click the Unplug or Eject Hardware icon on your system tray.
2. From the options presented, select “Stop FLASH-OFDM NIC”
device. Click “Stop.”
3. A dialog box appears notifying you that it is safe to disconnect the
modem. Unplug the USB cable from the modem and PC device.
