Introduction
MobileLite Wireless G3 (MLWG3) is a wireless media reader that allows you to wirelessly stream digital
media content (music, photos, videos, documents, etc.) from an SD memory card or USB flash drive
connected to your MLWG3 to a supported mobile device. Serving as its own mobile wireless network, the
MobileLite Wireless G3 lithium-ion battery gives you up to 11 hours of Wi-Fi access to your digital library
(within a 30-foot range) anywhere you go. MobileLite Wireless G3 is the perfect solution for expanding
your on-the-go media library with devices that have no way of adding or expanding their storage capacity.

1 - USB Cable (1.6ft. A to Micro-B)

Charging the MobileLite Wireless
We urge you to fully charge the MLWG3 before you begin to use it. This can take up to three hours with
a 2A power adapter. The MLWG3 can also be charged with a computer’s USB port, or a USB power
adapter (minimum 1.2A).
Battery LED
The battery indicator light on the front of the MLWG3 indicates the current battery strength and tells you
whether the MLWG3 is charging when it is connected to a computer or outlet. The battery indicator’s
LED blinks when it is charging and has a solid green LED when it is finished.
The battery LED also indicates how much battery life is left while the MobileLite Wireless G3 is powered
on. Green indicates 51% - 100% battery charge remaining; orange indicates 25% - 50% battery charge
remaining; and red indicates less than 25% battery charge remaining.
51%-100% battery charge
25%-50% battery charge
<25% battery charge
Battery Backup
In addition to being its own Wi-Fi network, MLWG3
can also be used as a battery backup.
This feature allows you to charge a mobile device
using the built-in USB port.
To use this function, with the MLWG3 powered off,
attach your mobile device to the USB port on the
MLWG3 using the mobile device’s own USB power
cable.
With MobileLite Wireless G3 powered on, the
MLWG3 battery can still charge your device, but
the battery will be drained more quickly because it
is broadcasting a Wi-Fi signal while charging the
mobile device.
The LED will flash to indicate the mobile device
is charging.

Installing the MobileLite Wireless Application
To configure the MLWG3, you must first install the MobileLite Wireless app to your mobile device from the
on-line Play Store (Internet access required). The MobileLite Wireless app is free and allows you to
customize the wireless network settings and wirelessly access the content you’ve uploaded to your USB
or SD Card device connected to the MLWG3.
To install the app, please follow these steps:
1. Open the Play Store app from a compatible mobile device and search for ‘MobileLite Wireless’.
The Play Store may return multiple results to your search, be sure to select ‘MobileLite Wireless’.
2. After locating the ‘MobileLite Wireless’ app by Kingston Digital, Inc., tap the ‘INSTALL’ button
link.
3. After selecting ‘INSTALL,’ click ‘ACCEPT’. Selecting this button will complete the installation of
the ‘MobileLite Wireless’ app to your device.
Once the app has been installed, you may exit the Play Store and proceed to the next section of this
manual.

How to Connect to the MLWG3
MobileLite Wireless is its own independent wireless network. When browsing for Wi-Fi networks from
your mobile device, you will see ‘MLWG3-xxxx’ and ‘MLWG3-5G-xxxx’ in the list of available networks to
join. (xxxx indicates the last four characters of your MLWG3’s unique MAC address. The MAC address
is located on a label underneath your MLWG3 device).
Steps to connect:
1. Open the ‘Settings’ app on your mobile device.
2. Click on Wi-Fi.
3. Select ‘MLWG3-xxxx’ or ‘MLWG3-5G-xxxx’
By default, there is no password and when you connect to the MLWG3 from your mobile device, you are
establishing a dedicated link to the MLWG3 over that wireless signal. Once you connect to the MLWG3,
you will substitute your mobile device’s internet connection with MLWG3’s wireless connection. This
means you will no longer have access to the Internet. However, the MLWG3 does provide a bridge
function that allows you to maintain access to MobileLite Wireless’ content while connecting to a Wi-Fi
Internet connection. See ‘How to Access Internet’ on page 24.
4. When connected, a check mark will appear next to the MLWG3 network name.
5. Launch the ‘MobileLite Wireless’ app.
Refresh
If the screen to the left appears when the app is
launched, then click the refresh icon.
If it fails to connect after the refresh, then repeat
the ‘steps to connect’ on this page and try again.
