Tethering with Xperia Link™

If you have an Xperia™ mobile phone, you can share the phone's mobile data
connection with your Xperia™ tablet. This way, your tablet can connect to the Internet
without having to use its own SIM card and data connection. This feature is useful when
you are out and about and don't have a mobile or Wi-Fi® connection on your tablet.
Before you use tethering with Xperia Link™, make sure the Xperia Link™ application is
installed and set up on both devices. Also, your Xperia™ phone must have a camera
with auto focus.
The Xperia Link™ application is only supported by Xperia™ phones running the Android™ 4.0
software version or higher. If the Xperia Link™ application is not pre-installed on your Xperia™
phone, you can download it from Google Play™.
