Tethering and portable hotspot

You can 'tether' your phone to your computer, via a USB cable or a Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connection, so that

the computer can share the phone's internet connection.

To read about the tethering options, touch Settings>More...>Tethering & portable hotspot>

>Help.

NFC

Near Field Communication (NFC) allows you to beam information (such as contacts, photos and browser

pages) by bringing your phone close to another NFC-capable device (typically back to back).

From the home screen, touch Apps> Settings>More...>NFC and make sure the check box is

selected. Touch Apps> Settings>More...>Android Beam, touch OFF and drag it to the right.

To beam information:

1. Go to the screen that shows the item you want to beam, such as a photo.

Bring your phone and the other device close together (back to back).

3. When you see Touch to Beam, touch your phone's screen.

See "Recommended apps" on page20 for details of other apps that use NFC.

Secure payment

The NFC feature in your Aster is SIM-based secure element compliant. This means that you can use your

phone for cashless, secure payments, provided that you have a suitable SIM card.

Contact your bank, credit card or network provider for more details about secure SIM cards.

Note: The Android Beam™ feature is not universally compatible with all other devices. Contact Vertu

Customer service for more details.
