6.5 Using Wireless Manager


Wireless Manager allows you to manage
phone service, Wi-Fi Internet connections,
and Bluetooth on your Sprint PCS Vision
Smart Device. You can use the device’s
Power Save Mode to make optimal use of
the battery under the WLAN networking
environment, view a variety of data related
to the current configuration and signal
quality, and increase network security.

To run Wireless Manager on your PPC-6700, you need a broadband
Internet connection, and an access point or router that emits WLAN
signals. If you do not have access to broadband Internet, consult
your ISP before you try to run this utility.

Note:

The availability and range of your device’s WLAN signal
depends on the number, infrastructure, and other objects
through which the signal passes.

To connect to a Wi-Fi network:

1. Tap Start > Programs > WirelessMgr. This opens the

Wireless Manager screen.

2. Tap the On/Off button to turn the wireless function on or

off. The Wireless Manager icon indicates the
wireless status:

: Wi-Fi is turned on.

: Wi-Fi is turned off.

3. On the Wireless Manager screen, tap Settings > Wireless

LAN Settings to configure the required settings. When the
configuration is completed, you can connect to a Wi-Fi
network using your PPC-6700.
