Note: Using your 4G service and Mobile Wi-Fi 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 Mobile 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 HotSpot
➔ 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.
To secure the Mobile HotSpot service:
The two most common methods for securing your connection to
the Hotspot are to a security method (WPA2 PSK) and to Hide
your phone’s SSID name.
1. Press ➔ and then tap (Settings) ➔
Wireless and network ➔ USB tethering and Mobile HotSpot
➔ Mobile HotSpot settings ➔ Configure Mobile HotSpot.
2. Tap the Security field and select WPA2 PSK.
