Sharing the Mobile Data Connection

The tethering & portable hotspot settings allow you to share your data connection. You can share the TC55's
mobile data connection with a single computer via USB tethering or Bluetooth tethering. You can also share the data
connection with up to eight devices at once, by turning it into a portable Wi-Fi hotspot. While the TC55 is sharing its
data connection, an icon appears at the top of the screen and a corresponding message appears in the notification list.

USB Tethering

Note: USB tethering is not supported on computers running Mac OS. If your computer is running
Windows 7 or a recent version of Linux (such as Ubuntu), follow these instructions without any special
preparation. If running a version of Windows that precedes Windows 7, or some other operating system,
you may need to prepare the computer to establish a network connection via USB.
Procedure:
1 Connect the TC55 to a host computer with the USB cable.
A USB icon appears at the top of the screen, and the notification Connected as a media device or Connected as
a camera appears briefly at the top of the screen.
