We study the variability of the quasar HS 1946+7658 on intra-night time scale based on both our own optical and archival X-ray data. We find the quasar non-variable during about 11 hours of optical monitoring. This is in accordance with the low intra-night variability duty cycle of radio-quiet quasars. Regarding the X-rays, we cannot make a firm conclusion about the quasar variability owing to the controversial results of the light curves statistical analysis. In addition, we calibrated Johnson-Cousins $BVRI$ magnitudes of 7 field stars that are to be used as secondary standards.
