Tethering With Xperia Link; Controlling Data Usage - Sony SGP621 User Manual

Tethering with Xperia Link™

If you have an Xperia™ mobile phone, you can share the phone's mobile data
connection with your Xperia™ tablet. This way, your tablet can connect to the
internet without having to use its own SIM card and data connection. This feature is
useful when you are out and about and don't have a mobile or Wi-Fi connection on
your tablet. Before you use tethering with Xperia Link™, make sure the Xperia Link™
application is installed and set up on both devices. Also, your Xperia™ phone must
have a camera with auto focus.
The Xperia Link™ application is only supported by Xperia™ phones running the Android™ 4.0
software version or higher. If the Xperia Link™ application is not pre-installed on your Xperia™
phone, you can download it from Google Play™.
To connect your Xperia™ devices using a QR Code™
1
Make sure the Bluetooth function is activated on both Xperia™ devices and
that the devices have an active internet connection.
2
Tablet: From your Home screen, tap
the instructions to complete the setup. A QR Code™ appears on the screen.
3
The other device: From your Home screen, tap

4
Hold your device over the QR Code™ on the screen until the complete QR
Code™ is visible in the viewfinder of the device.
5
Your device automatically scans the QR Code™ and connects to your tablet
once the QR Code™ is recognised.
6 To confirm the connection, tap OK.

Controlling data usage

You can keep track of the amount of data transferred to and from your device over
your mobile data or Wi-Fi connection during a given period. For example, you can
view the amount of data used by individual applications. For data transferred over
your mobile data connection, you can also set data usage warnings and limits to
avoid additional charges.
If you are using a device with multiple users, only the owner, that is, the primary user, can
adjust data usage settings. Adjusting data usage settings can help you keep greater control
over data usage but cannot guarantee the prevention of additional charges.
