Follow these instructions to set up your Android smart phone as a
Mobile hotspot and ‘tether’ it to your satellite navigation system.
Please note that these instructions are based on a Samsung Galaxy S4. Set-
up instructions for other Android Smart Phone manufacturers may be slightly
different depending on the location of ‘Tethering and Mobile hotspot’ in the your
phone’s Settings menu.
1. To ‘Tether’ an Android Smart Phone with your device, you first need to put the Aguri
navigation software in to ‘Tether’ mode. To do this, tap on the ‘Navigate’ button from
the main menu and launch the navigation software. Once the navigation software is
open, tap on the middle of the screen to enter the navigation menu and swipe the
screen from right to left until you see 'Settings' Tap the 'Settings' button and scroll
down until you see ‘Select server connection type’ and select ‘Bluetooth or Wi-Fi
Tethering’. Press the ’SRC' home button to return to the main menu.
2. On your Smart Phone, go to ‘Settings’ then ‘More networks’ and select ‘Tethering and
Mobile hotspot’.
3. Switch on ‘Mobile hotspot’. Your phone will advise that your Wi-Fi connection will be
switched off at this point. Select ‘OK’.
4. Select ‘Settings’ from the main menu on your device. (The main menu is the menu you
see when you first power on the device)
5. Select ‘Wi-Fi’ and switch it on by sliding the on/off button to the right, turning it blue.
6. Your device should now display a list of available Wi-Fi connections including one
called ‘AndroidAP’ or something similar that represents your Smart Phone. Select this
to enable the connection.
7. Your device will now ask you to enter your phone’s Mobile Hotspot password. The
password should automatically be displayed on your Smart Phone and will normally
consist of approximately 4 lower case letters and 4 numbers. If the password is not
displayed automatically, tap on ‘Mobile hotspot’ and refer to #3 from the section
entitled ‘How to connect from other devices’ where the password should be displayed.
8. Once you have entered the password, your device and Android Smart Phone should
be successfully tethered. Your device will be able to leverage your Smart Phone’s
internet connection for use with Live Digital Traffic and providing general internet
connectivity for your device.
User note. When the device is tethered with your Smart Phone or iPhone it will
leverage your phone’s mobile 3G or 4G internet connection. The device will use
your phone’s internet connection to send and receive data such as traffic flow
information and, if you use the mobile speed trap sharing system, will send the
coordinates of any locations reported by you as well as downloading the locations
of any mobile speed trap sites reported by other users in your area. Depending
on the mobile data package included with your Smart Phone or iPhone contract,
using these features could cost you money. We strongly advise that you check
what mobile data package is included on your phone contract and regularly
monitor the amount of mobile data used by our device whilst paired with your
Smart Phone or iPhone to ensure that you are aware of any associated costs you
may incur.
