cannot be active when device is connected
to Wi-Fi. Please disconnect your Wi-Fi
connection prior to activating this service.

Mobile HotSpot drains your device’s battery

HotSpot Settings.

use names, birthdays, or other personal
information.
4. Tap Save to store the new settings.

USB Tethering
This option allows you to share your device’s
mobile data connection via a direct USB
connection between your device and a single
computer. The Mobile HotSpot connectivity is a
wireless version of this same functionality and
allows you to provide Internet connectivity to
multiple devices.
●For more information on tethering with
operating systems, go to:
www.android.com/tether.
●You cannot mount your device’s microSD
card to your computer while using the USB
Tethering feature. If additional software or
USB drivers are required, go to:

●When you connect your device to a
computer with a USB cable, you can either
share your mobile data connection via
