Note: By default, prior to the initial setup process, the connection is unsecure. It is recommended you create your own password prior to your initial connection. Note: The 4G Mobile Hotspot drains your device's battery at a much faster rate than when using any other feature combination. The best way to keep using the device as a Hotspot is to have it connected to a power supply. To connect to the 4G Hotspot: 1. Enable Wi-Fi (wireless) functionality on your target device (laptop, media device, etc.). 2. Scan for Wi-Fi networks from the external device and select your device's Mobile Hotspot name from the network list. • The SSID name for your device's Hotspot is determined by what you entered into the Network SSID field. • You can change the name by tapping Configure ➔ 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. To secure the 4G Hotspot service: The two most common methods for securing your connection to the Hotspot are to a security method (WPA2 PSK) and to Hide your phone's SSID name. 1. From the Home screen, press and then tap Settings ➔ More settings ➔ Tethering and Mobile Hotspot. 2. Tap the 4G Mobile Hotspot field and then select Configure. 3. Tap the Security field and select WPA2 PSK. 4. With security enabled, delete the previous password and enter a new one into the Password field. Important! The more complex the password, the harder it will be for intruders to break your security. It is recommended that you not use names, birthdays, or other personal information. 5. Tap Save to store the new settings. Connections 220
