Troubleshooting: USB connections
My device isn't recognized when I connect it to my computer
If your computer doesn't automatically detect your BlackBerry device, try the following:
• Check the USB cable and points of connection.
• Consider updating or installing the device drivers on your computer. When you connect your device to your computer, 
your computer should automatically prompt you to install the latest drivers. Otherwise, the drivers you need are 
installed when you download BlackBerry Link or BlackBerry Blend. To download BlackBerry Link, on your computer,

Mobile Hotspot
When you use Mobile Hotspot mode your BlackBerry device creates a Wi-Fi network that other Wi-Fi enabled devices can 
connect to so that they can use the Internet through your mobile network connection.
Sharing your Internet connection using Mobile Hotspot mode
This feature lets you connect your devices to the Internet anywhere that your BlackBerry device has a mobile network 
connection, but because this feature uses the mobile network, you might incur high data charges.
On some mobile networks, services such as email and BBM might not be available while Mobile Hotspot mode is on.
After you set up Mobile Hotspot mode on your BlackBerry device, connecting to the mobile hotspot with a Wi-Fi enabled 
device is a lot like connecting to any regular router.
Before you use Mobile Hotspot mode, read the latest safety and product information at 
.
Use Mobile Hotspot mode to share your Internet connection
Before you turn on Mobile Hotspot mode, check that your BlackBerry device's connection to the mobile network is on.
