Palm mobile hotspot
What is Palm mobile hotspot?
Quickly turn your HP webOS smartphone into a Wi-Fi hotspot for up to five
devices. Enjoy mobile Internet access for your laptop while on the go, and let
friends or co-workers connect at the same time. The app is simple to
configure and easy to use.
IMPORTANT The Palm mobile hotspot requires a fast data connection with
your wireless service provider's network and only works when you're within a
wireless coverage area. Additional data charges or monthly subscription fees may
apply. Please contact your wireless service provider regarding applicable charges
before using this application. Be aware that unless your data plan is unlimited you
may accumulate significant data charges using this application, especially when
roaming. While Palm mobile hotspot is active, other applications on your
smartphone continue to work, and any data sent or received counts against your
mobile hotspot data plan allowance (if applicable).
If you just want to browse the web on your smartphone, use the
smartphone’s browser (see Web).
Palm mobile hotspot has a range of up to 170 feet (about 50 meters). The
actual range varies depending on environmental conditions, such as
obstructions and radio interference.
When using Palm mobile hotspot, your smartphone’s battery charge may
not last as long as usual. When possible, to improve battery performance,
you should charge your battery while using Palm mobile hotspot (see
Charge the battery).
Secure hotspots and open hotspots
We recommend that you set up your Palm mobile hotspot as a secure
hotspot (see Create a secure hotspot). That way, you can protect your
hotspot with a passphrase, and you can control who connects to the
Internet through your smartphone by controlling the distribution of your
passphrase.
