TETHERING & WI-FI SHARING

To use tethering or Wi-Fi sharing, you must

have a Tethering and Wi-Fi Sharing service

plan.

Tethering

Your phone has the capability to share

its mobile data connection with a single

computer via a USB cable.

n

Tethering works with Windows®

7, Windows XP, Windows Vista®,

and Linux. For more information on

tethering with operating systems, go

to www.android.com/tether#usb.

For Windows XP, first install the

driver on your computer before you

can tether. To install the driver, go

to www.android.com/tether.

When you connect your phone to

your computer with the USB cable,

you can either tether or access files

on the memory card but you cannot

do both. If you want to use your

computer to access the memory card,

then you must not turn on tethering.

Wi-Fi Sharing

You can share the mobile data connection

from your phone with other devices by

turning your phone into a portable Wi-Fi

hotspot.

When your phone is serving as a

Wi-Fi hotspot, you cannot access

the Internet via its Wi-Fi connection.
