TETHERING
Share your phone’s mobile data connection
with a single computer by tethering.
To use your phone’s tethering capability,
you must have the Smartphone Mobile
HotSpot service added to your rate plan.
When tethering is turned on, your phone
displays the
Tethering
icon in the Status bar.
For more information on tethering,
go to
www.android.com/tether
.
For Windows XP, you must first
install the driver on your computer
before you can tether. To install the
driver, go to

When you connect your phone to
a computer with a USB cable, you
can either share your mobile data
connection by tethering or you can
share files—you cannot do both.
Do not turn on tethering if you want
to use your computer to access
your phone’s memory card.
