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.
