Confirm the Mobile HotSpot active icon 

 

appears at the top of the screen.

Note: 

By default, during the initial setup 

process, the connection is not secure. 

It is recommended that you maintain a 

secure connection by using a password for 

communication.

Note: 

Using your 4G service and Smartphone 

Mobile 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 change the Mobile HotSpot password:

1. 

From the Mobile HotSpot screen, tap 

 

Menu 

g

 

Configure hotspot

2. 

Tap the 

Security

 field and select 

WPA2 PSK

.

3. 

With security enabled, delete the previous 
password and enter a new one into the 

Password

 field. 

Note: 

The more complex the password, the 

harder it will be for intruders to break your 

security. It is recommended that you not 

use names, birthdays, or other personal 

information.

4. 

Tap 

Save

 to store the new settings.
