Wi-Fi

Wi-Fi provides wireless Internet access over distances of up to 300 feet. To use your device’s

Wi-Fi, you need access to a wireless access point or “hotspot.”

The availability and range of the Wi-Fi signal depends on a number of factors, including

infrastructure and other objects through which the signal passes.

Turn Wi-Fi On and Connect to a Wireless Network

By default, your device’s Wi-Fi feature is turned off. Turning Wi-Fi on makes your device able to

discover and connect to compatible in-range WAPs.

Turn Wi-Fi on:

1. Press

and tap

Wireless and network

Wi-Fi settings

2. Tap the

Wi-Fi

field to activate the feature (green checkmark indicates active). The

device scans for available in-range wireless networks.

Note:

The next time your device connects to a previously accessed secured wireless network,

you will not be prompted to enter the WEP key again, unless you reset your device to its

factory default settings.

Wi-Fi networks are self-discoverable, which means no additional steps are required for

your device to connect to a Wi-Fi network. It may be necessary to provide a user name

and password for certain closed wireless networks.
