Wireless 6 - 7
Data usage settings allow you to:
• Set the data usage level at which you'll receive a warning.
• Set a data usage limit.
• View or restrict data usage by app.
• Identify mobile hotspots and restrict background downloads that may result in extra charges.
By default, when you open the data usage settings screen you see the settings for mobile data: that is, the data
network or networks provided by your carrier:
Figure 6-4 Data Usage Screen
To display Wi-Fi data usage settings in a separate tab touch > Show Wi-Fi.
Just below the on-off switch, note the data usage cycle. Touch it to choose a different cycle. This date range is the
period of time for which the graph displays data usage.
The vertical white lines on the graph show a period of time within the data usage cycle. This range determines the
usage amount displayed just below the graph. Drag lines to change the period.
CAUTION The usage displayed on the data usage settings screen is measured by your device. Your carrier's
data usage accounting may differ. Usage in excess of your carrier plan's data limits can result in steep
overage charges. The feature described here can help you track your usage, but is not guaranteed to
prevent additional charges.
