Mobile Wi-Fi HotSpot
This feature allows you to turn your device into a Wi-Fi
hotspot. The feature works best when used in conjunction
with HSPA+ (4G) data services (although 3G service can also
be used).
Important! The Mobile AP service can not be active at the
same time as Wi-Fi. Please close your Wi-Fi
connection prior to launching the Mobile AP
service.
Note: You must have a tethering plan on your account to use
the Wi-Fi HotSpot. You can not use data on the device
while it is being used as a hotspot.
To edit the Portable Wi-Fi HotSpot information:
1. From a Home screen, tap Apps ➔
( Mobile HotSpot ).

From a Home screen, tap

OFF / ON icon
to turn the feature on.
3. Tap the
Network SSID field and edit the name if desired.
4. Select a Security option and enter a new security
option (
Open , WPA-PSK , or WPA2-PSK ).
5. With security enabled, delete the previous password
and enter a new one into the
Password field.
6. Tap
Save to store the new settings.
7. Confirm the Mobile HotSpot active icon appears
at the bottom of the screen.
Note: Using your 4G service and Mobile Wi-Fi HotSpot drains
your device’s battery at a much faster rate than when
using any other feature combination.
The best way to keep using the device as a hotspot is to
have it connected to a power supply.
