Mobile AP
This feature allows you to turn your phone 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.
To activate the Mobile AP service:
1. Press ➔ and then tap (Settings) ➔
Wireless and network ➔ Tethering and portable hotspot.
2. Tap Mobile AP settings ➔ Mobile AP, this places a
checkmark in the adjacent field to activate the service.
3. Tap Yes to continue with the activation.
4. Tap Configure mobile AP.
5. Create a new Network SSID anme and then write it down.
6. Confirm the Mobile AP service icon appears at the
top of the screen.
Note: By default, the connection is open and not secured. It is recommended
that you access the Mobile AP settings and create a secure connection
by using a password for communication.
Note: Using your 4G service and Mobile AP Hotspot drains your phone’s
battery at a much faster rate than when using any other feature
combination.
The best way to keep using the phone as a hotspot is to have it
connected to a power supply.
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 device and select your
phone hotspot from the network list.
• The SSID name for your phone’s hotspot is determined by what you
entered into the Network SSID field.
• You can change the name by tapping Configure mobile AP ➔
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.
