Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi provides wireless Internet access over dis tances 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.
