Keeping Your Cellular Connection

If your mobile device is running iOS 7 or higher, you can keep it connected to the
cellular data network using 3G/4G/LTE WHILE also being connected to the Wireless
Flash Drive directly.
1. Connect to your drive's Wi-Fi network in your mobile device's Wi-Fi Settings menu
2. Launch the app
3. Select Settings -> Keep Cellular Connection and turn it On (The app will save
your preference so you would need to set this setting only once.)
Turn this option on to continue receiving emails and maintain access to the internet
even when you are out of range of any Wi-Fi Internet access point.
To avoid data charges from your mobile carrier while at home/work or any other place
where Wi-Fi Internet access is available, make sure to also turn on Internet
Connection. (See step by step instructions in the previous section, Using Internet
Connection.) The app will always prioritize maintaining your device's internet
connection via Wi-Fi Internet network (when these are available and set up) even
when Keep Cellular Connection is turned on.
Note: When Keep Cellular Connection is turned on, data charges from your cellular
operator may apply.
Wi-Fi only iPad/iPad Mini/iPod touch will have this Settings option grayed out.
