Wireless whenever
and wherever you
need it.
The Sonim XP8 was designed to work
where and how you work—that means
providing the power and support of
Wi-Fi access as a dynamic and
durable mobile hotspot.
Set up your device as a personal hotspot
and share your data connection with up to
10 Wi-Fi-capable devices concurrently.
To turn on and activate your mobile hotspot:
1. Select the Settings gear icon
2. Select ‘Network & Internet’
3. Select ‘Hotspot & tethering’
4. Activate mobile hotspot by toggling the Wi-Fi hotspot
switch to the right (You will be prompted to turn off
Wi-Fi when turning on the Mobile hotspot. Select ‘OK’)
5. Your mobile hotspot is now enabled! Its beacon icon
should be displayed in the device’s notification bar
From the ‘Hotspot & tethering’ screen, you may also
adjust your hotspot settings, view connected devices,
and turn off your mobile hotspot as needed.
• To name the hotspot, set a password or adjust other
hotspot settings, select ‘Set up Wi-Fi hotspot’, select
and enter your desired network settings and then
select ‘SAVE’.
• To view connected devices, select
‘Wi-Fi Hotspot Preferences’
• To turn off your mobile hotspot, simply toggle the
Wi-Fi hotspot switch back over to the left.
• The mobile hotspot feature is set to expire after 10 minutes
of inactivity. To prevent your hotspot from deactivating
after 10 minutes of inactivity, change this default setting by
selecting ‘Wi-Fi Hotspot Preferences’, ‘Keep Wi-Fi Hotspot
on’ and select ‘Always’.
If your XP8 is turned off at any point, you will need to
reactivate your mobile hotspot once it has turned back on.
The hotspot capability will not automatically turn itself
back on.
Utilizing your XP8 as a hotspot requires an eligible
data plan. Contact your service provider with questions
regarding your plan.
