Join a closed Wi-Fi network: In the list of network names, tap Other, then enter the name of the
closed network. You must already know the network name, password, and security type to
connect to a closed network.

Adjust the settings for connecting to a Wi-Fi network: Tap next to a network. You can set an
HTTP proxy, define static network settings, turn on BootP, or renew the settings provided by a
DHCP server.

Setting up an AirPort base station

An AirPort base station provides a Wi-Fi connection to your home, school, or small business
network. You can use iPod touch to set up a new AirPort Express, AirPort Extreme, or Time Capsule
base station.
Use the AirPort Setup Assistant: Go to Settings > Wi-Fi. Under “Set up an AirPort base station,”
tap the name of the base station you want to set up. Then follow the onscreen instructions.

If the base station you want to set up isn’t listed, make sure that it has power, that you’re within
range, and that it hasn’t already been configured. You can only set up base stations that are new
or have been reset. Some older AirPort base stations cannot be set up using an iOS device. For
setup instructions, see the documentation that came with the base station.
Manage an AirPort network: If iPod touch is connected to an AirPort base station, tap next
to the network name. If you haven’t already downloaded AirPort Utility, the App Store opens so
you can get it.

VPN

Your organization may use a VPN to communicate private information securely over a non-
private network. You may need to configure VPN, for example, to access your work email. This
setting appears when you have VPN configured on iPod touch, allowing you to turn VPN on or
off. See

VPN

on page 122.

Bluetooth

iPod touch can connect wirelessly to Bluetooth devices such as headsets, headphones, and car
kits for music listening and hands-free talking. You can also connect the Apple Wireless Keyboard
with Bluetooth. See

Apple Wireless Keyboard

on page 24.

Turn Bluetooth on or off: Go to Settings > Bluetooth.
Connect to a Bluetooth device: Tap the device in the Devices list, then follow the onscreen
instructions to connect to it. See the documentation that came with the device for more
information about Bluetooth pairing.

Do Not Disturb and Notifications

Push notifications appear in Notification Center and alert you to new information, even when the
associated app isn’t running. Notifications vary by app, but may include text or sound alerts, and
a numbered badge on the app icon on the Home screen.
Turn off all notifications: Go to Settings and turn on Do Not Disturb. If it’s on and iPod touch is
locked, all notifications are silenced, but alarms will still sound. You can set the following options
in Settings > Notifications > Do Not Disturb:
