Note: By default, the connection is not secured.

Note: Using your Mobile HotSpot drains your device’s battery much faster. The best way to keep using the device as a HotSpot is by connecting to a Charger.

To connect to the HotSpot:

1.Enable Wi-Fi (wireless) functionality on your target device (laptop, media device, etc.).

2.Scan for Wi-Fi networks from the external device and select your device’s Mobile HotSpot name from the network list.

The SSID name for your device’s hotspot is determined by what you entered into the Network SSID field.

You can change the name by tapping Configure Network SSID and changing the entry.

3.Select this HotSpot and follow your on-screen instructions to complete the connection.

4.Launch your Web browser to confirm you have an Internet connection.

To change the Portable HotSpot password:

1.From a Home screen, tap (Apps) (Mobile HotSpot).

2.Tap Mobile HotSpot Configure.

3.Tap the Security field and select WPA2 PSK.

4.With security enabled, delete the previous password and enter a new one into the Password field.

Important! The more complex the password, the harder it will be for intruders to break your security. It is recommended that you not use names, birthdays, or other personal information.

5.Tap Save to store the new settings.
