Version 1.3

This chapter covers using the Vodafone Mobile Broadband Hotspot wirelessly (including

use as a temporary hotspot), using the File Sharing capabilities allowed by the microSDHC

card capabilities, and using the Vodafone Mobile Broadband Hotspot as a USB modem.

2.1 Connect in WLAN Mode

WLAN mode is where you use your Vodafone Mobile Broadband Hotspot as a wireless

hotspot or access point. It can be powered by battery, wall plug, or vehicle charger when

used in this mode. Do not plug the USB cable into a computer if you want to use WLAN

mode.

➊ Press the power button.

 The Vodafone Mobile Broadband Hotspot comes on and the power LED and the

WLAN LED light up.

 A flashing green, blue or cyan power LED and a solid WLAN LED indicate the device

is in service and ready to connect.

➋ Use your normal WLAN manager on your computer to locate the Vodafone Mobile

Broadband Hotspot wireless network.

Note: The steps to connect to a WLAN network vary depending on your operating system

and whether you use the native application or third-party software. Generally you click an

icon (often in the System Tray for Windows or choose

System Preferences > Network on

a Mac) where you can select “View Available Wireless Networks.” If you are unfamiliar with

wireless networking on your computer, consult the computer help system.

Tip!

➌ If multiple wireless networks are found, highlight the one with the name

VodafoneMobileHotspot_xxxx. (Note: The xxxx is a number derived from your device

serial number / SIM)

➍ Click Connect.
