TETHERING & WI-FI SHARING

To use tethering or Wi-Fi sharing, you must have a Tethering and Wi-Fi Sharing service plan.

Tethering

Your phone has the capability to share its mobile data connection with a single computer via a USB cable.

nTethering works with Windows® 7, Windows XP, Windows Vista®, and Linux. For more information on tethering with operating systems, go to www.android.com/tether#usb.

nFor Windows XP, first install the driver on your computer before you can tether. To install the driver, go to www.android.com/tether.

nWhen you connect your phone to your computer with the USB cable, you can either tether or access files on the memory card but you cannot do both. If you want to use your computer to access the memory card, then you must not turn on tethering.

Wi-Fi Sharing

You can share the mobile data connection from your phone with other devices by turning your phone into a portable Wi-Fi hotspot.

nWhen your phone is serving as a Wi-Fi hotspot, you cannot access the Internet via its Wi-Fi connection.

nFor more information, go to www. android.com/tether#wifi.
