Using your smartphone as a modem

When connected to your PC, your smartphone can function as a modem via
GPRS or 3G connection.
When you insert your SIM card, your phone will automatically configure itself
to use your provider's GPRS/3G/EDGE service.
Important: Some providers and countries do not allow the use of a smartphone as a
modem over HSDPA. Please check with your provider before attempting to do so.

Perform the following steps:
1. Go to mobile.acer.com and download drivers for your smartphone.
2. Install your smartphone's driver software on your computer.
3. Connect your smartphone to your PC with the USB cable.
4. From your smartphone's Home screen, tap Acer Settings and turn on Internet
Sharing.
5. You can now connect to the Internet on your PC.
6. When finished, tap Acer Settings and turn off Internet Sharing.
Note: If the connection fails, please try to restart and reconnect your smartphone to
your PC, and then repeat the installation.
Note: Updates are available at the Acer website. Visit mobile.acer.com.
Creating a new access point
When you need to add another GPRS/3G/EDGE connection on your phone,
obtain the access point name and settings (including username and password if
required) from your wireless service provider.
