If you borrowed a T-Mobile hot spot from LAUSD and can't seem to get it to work, take these steps:
1. Plug in the charger. You will notice the battery symbol eventually change from red to green.
2. Once it is green and hence charged, unplug it, then turn it on. Press the power button for a couple seconds until all (or nearly all) the lights turn green.
3. If there is no LAUSD label on the back (the last 8 digits of the device number = the security key), open the back of your hot spot (yes, the back cover comes off) to find the security key AKA password.
4. In your laptop, iPad or smart phone's Wi Fi/network settings, find the network with Coolpad Surf in it. That's your T-Mobile hot spot network. Click to connect it. Enter the security key/password that you found either on the back or inside the hot spot.
VOILA! YOU ARE CONNECTED!
Then, if you want to keep your hot spot charged, feel free to plug it in again (or not).
