Portable HotSpot
This feature turns your device into a Wi-Fi HotSpot, allowing
you to provide Internet connectivity to multiple devices. The
feature works best when used in conjunction with HSPA+ (4G)
data services (although 3G service can also be used).
Important! The Portable HotSpot service can not be active at
the same time as Wi-Fi. Please close your Wi-Fi
connection prior to launching this service.
Note: You must have a tethering plan on your account in order
to use the Portable HotSpot. You cannot use data on the
device while using Poratble HotSpot.

1. From the Home screen, press
Settings ➔ More settings ➔ Tethering and portable

Note: By default, the connection is secured using WPA2 PSK. It
is recommended that you maintain a secure connection
by using a security method and password for
communication.
Note: Using your phone as a Portable HotSpot drains your
device's battery much faster. The best way to keep using
the device as a HotSpot is by connecting it to a Charger.
To connect to the HotSpot:
1. Enable Wi-Fi (wireless) functionality on your target
device (laptop, media device, etc.).
2. Scan for Wi-Fi networks from the device and select your
phone's Portable HotSpot name from the network list.
• The SSID name for your device's HotSpot is determined by
the text in the Network SS D field.
