Personal Area Networks
Smartphone-connected devices only
Your phone shares its internet connection by using the phone's Bluetooth® and Personal Area
Network (PAN) functions.
Depending on your phone's Operating System, this network, or PAN, might be called one of the
following names:
 Personal Hotspot
 Tethering or Bluetooth Tethering
 Tether or Bluetooth Tether
The PAN function is probably already in your phone's Operating System, or you can download an
app to create a PAN.
Note: Some mobile service providers don't allow their users to use a PAN. If your phone
doesn't have the PAN function, you should contact your service provider for more information.
Please check the user guide for your phone if you are having trouble finding the settings.
