Confirm the Mobile HotSpot active icon 

appears at the top of the screen.

Note: 

By default, during the initial setup 

process, the connection is not secure. 

It is recommended that you maintain a 

secure connection by using a password for 

communication.

Note: 

Using your 4G service and Smartphone 

Mobile 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 change the Mobile HotSpot password:

1. 

From the Mobile HotSpot screen, tap 

Menu 

g

Configure hotspot

2. 

Tap the 

Security

 field and select 

WPA2 PSK

.

3. 

With security enabled, delete the previous 

password and enter a new one into the

 field. 

Note: 

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.
