Hotspot
Hotspot allows you to turn your phone into a Wi-Fi hotspot. When this feature is turned on, you can share
your phone's mobile data services via Wi-Fi with other Wi-Fi enabled devices. The feature works best
when used in conjunction with 4G data services (although 3G service can also be used).
Important: Use of the Hotspot feature requires an additional subscription. Sign on to your account at
sprint.com/mysprint or access your account via My Sprint (tap Apps > My Sprint ) to learn more.
Note: Turning Hotspot on will disable your phone's connection to other Wi-Fi networks.

1. From home, tap Apps > Settings .
2. Tap Hotspot and Tethering > Hotspot.
The Hotspot window opens.
3. Tap On/Off to turn Hotspot on.

To disable Hotspot, tap On/Off again.
Note: The best way to keep using the phone as a hotspot is to have it connected to a power supply.
Important: Write down the passkey (password) for this communication (shown onscreen).
