These device types use an 802.11 wireless specification to transmit and receive wireless data. Wi-Fi communication requires access to an existing and accessible Wireless Access Point (WAP). These WAPs can either be Open (unsecured) as within most Hot Spots, or Secured (requiring knowledge of the Router name and password). Turning Wi-Fi On By default, the Wi-Fi feature is turned on. When Wi-Fi is on, your device is able to discover and connect to compatible in-range WAPs. 1. From a Home screen, touch Applications ➔ Settings ➔ Wireless and networks ➔ Wi-Fi settings. 2.
