10.2 Connecting to the Internet

You can use Wi-Fi or dial-up to connect your device to the Internet or your company network.

Wi-Fi

Wi-Fi provides wireless Internet access over distances of up to 100 meters. To access the Internet via Wi-Fi on
your device, you need access to a wireless network or hotspot.

Note The availability and range of your device’s Wi-Fi signal depends on the number, infrastructure, and other objects

through which the signal passes.

To turn Wi-Fi on and off

At the lower left side of your device, slide the WLAN Switch upward to turn Wi-FI on, downward to turn Wi-Fi
off. The icons on the switch represent the following:

: Wi-Fi is turned on.

: Wi-Fi is turned off.

To connect to a wireless network or hotspot

1.

After Wi-Fi has been turned on, your device then scans for available wireless networks or hotspots
in your area. The network names of the detected wireless networks will be displayed on a pop-up
message window. Tap the desired wireless LAN, then tap OK.

2.

On the next pop-up message window, tap The Internet if the wireless LAN connects your device to the
Internet. Otherwise, tap Work if the wireless LAN connects your device to a private network.

3.

If the wireless LAN is secured by a network key, enter this key, then tap Connect.

Next

time you use your device to detect wireless networks, you will not see the pop-up message

windows again, and you will not be prompted to enter the network key of the previously accessed
wireless network (unless you perform a hard reset which will erase custom settings on your device).
