HP mobile hotspot

What is HP mobile hotspot?
Quickly turn your HP webOS smartphone into a Wi-Fi hotspot for up to
five devices. Enjoy mobile Internet access for your laptop while on the go,
and let friends or colleagues connect at the same time. The app is simple
to configure and easy to use.
IMPORTANT HP mobile hotspot requires a fast data connection with your
wireless service provider's network and only works when you're within a
wireless coverage area. Additional data charges or monthly subscription fees
may apply. Please contact your wireless service provider about applicable
charges before using this application. Be aware that unless your data plan is
unlimited you may accumulate significant data charges using this application,
especially when roaming. While HP mobile hotspot is active, other applications
on your smartphone continue to work, and any data sent or received counts
against your mobile hotspot data plan allowance (if applicable).
If you just want to browse the web on your smartphone, use the
smartphone's browser (see Web).
HP mobile hotspot has a range of up to 50 metres. The actual range
varies depending on environmental conditions, such as obstructions and
radio interference.
When using HP mobile hotspot, your smartphone's battery charge may
not last as long as usual. When possible, to improve battery performance,
you should charge your battery while using HP mobile hotspot (see
Charge the battery).
Secure hotspots and open hotspots
We recommend that you set up your HP mobile hotspot as a secure
hotspot (see Create a secure hotspot). That way, you can protect your
hotspot with a passphrase, and you can control who connects to the
Internet through your smartphone by controlling the distribution of your
passphrase.
