WWAN Options
Show wireless device battery instead of PC battery: If you only selected to detect and install Wi-Fi when installing
Modem Manager, Modem Manager will display the PC's battery status in it's main window. If you are using a WWAN
device and this option is selected, the battery level of your WWAN device will be displayed when your device is connected
and detected by Modem Manager, as well as when you connect and disconnect using your WWAN device. Battery Status
cannot be updated while you are connected. You can refresh the status when you are not connected, by selecting "Tools",
"Refresh Signal Levels" from Modem Manager's main window. Some phones fail to accurately report their battery level to
Modem Manager and some WWAN devices such as PC Cards do not use batteries, so you can use this option to display
the PC's battery instead.
