Additional Use Case Information
Using the CLEAR Spot via USB
For additional convenience, you can use the USB Cable to connect the CLEAR Spot to a compatible
(Windows 7, Windows Vista®, Windows XP, or Mac (OS X 10.4 x or higher based) computer (also
known as tethering) when:
 You need to charge the CLEAR Spot battery, but you don’t desire to use the Wall Charger, or it is
not available.
 The computer you’re using doesn’t have wi-fi capability.
 You desire to block others from using your CLEAR Spot wi-fi network.
To connect the CLEAR Spot to your computer:
 Insert the large end of the USB Cable to an available USB port on your computer.
 Insert the smaller end of the USB Cable into the USB Port on the side of the CLEAR Spot.
When using your computer connected to the CLEAR Spot, via the USB Cable, you also can use the
CLEAR Spot wi-fi network, to share with up to five other devices. You can, however, choose to
disable the CLEAR Spot wi-fi network when the CLEAR Spot is connected to a computer, via the
micro USB Cable. Disabling wi-fi when connected via USB Cable can be set in the CLEAR Spot
Home Page:
 Home Page > Wi-Fi Users.
 Home Page > Advanced Settings > Wi-Fi > Network.
While the CLEAR Spot is connected to your computer, via the USB Cable, the CLEAR Spot battery is
being charged.
In order to use your CLEAR Spot connected to your computer, via the USB Cable, you must first
download the required drivers. We recommend using the TRU-Install feature, which makes the
installation process easy. By factory default, TRU-Install is enabled. An installation CD is not
required.
If you desire to change the setting, you can:
 Ensure you’re logged in to the CLEAR Spot Home Page.
 Click Advanced Settings > Device > Basic.
 Select a value (Enabled or Disabled) for TRU-Install.
