top of the screen.
Note: By default, the connection is open and not secured. It is recommended
that you access the Mobile AP settings and create a secure connection
by using a password for communication.
Note: Using your 4G service and Mobile AP Hotspot drains your phone’s
battery at a much faster rate than when using any other feature
combination.
The best way to keep using the phone as a hotspot is to have it
connected to a power supply.
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 hotspot from the network list.
• The default name for your phone’s hotspot is AndroidAPXXXX.
• You can change the name by tapping Mobile AP settings ➔
Network SSID and changing the entry.
3. Select this Hotspot and follow your on-screen instructions
to complete the connection.
4. Launch your Web browser to confirm you have an Internet
connection.
