Using your Mobile HotSpot drains your device’s battery
much faster. The best way to keep using the device as a
HotSpot is by connecting to a Charger.

Enable Wi-Fi (wireless) functionality on your target
device (laptop, media device, etc.).
2.
Scan for Wi-Fi networks from the external device and
select your device’s Mobile HotSpot name from the
network list.
•
The SSID name for your device’s HotSpot is determined by
what you entered into the
Network SSID
field.
•
You can change the name by tapping
Configure
➔

SSID
and changing the entry.
3.
Select this HotSpot and follow your on-screen
instructions to complete the connection.

Launch your Web browser to confirm you have an
Internet connection.
