Notes
• Wi-Fi connects to the default network that is available on your phone. However,
GPRS/EDGE starts by default if your phone does not detect any Wi-Fi signal.
• In Comm Manager, select Settings > Wi-Fi > Connection Status to check the
current connection status and signal quality of each Wi-Fi channel.
• Configure your phone so that the Wi-Fi function turns off automatically when
no signal is detected to conserve battery power. In Comm Manager, select
Settings > Wi-Fi > Wi-Fi Networks > Menu > Wi-Fi Settings.
