obtain the settings from the system
administrator and enter the settings

manually. You can also use these steps to
manually create a connection with an open
network.

1 Wake up your smartphone’s screen (see

Waking up the screen and turning it off),
and then insert the Wi-Fi card into the
expansion slot (see Removing and
inserting expansion cards).

2 Tap Wi-Fi in the title bar.

3 Select the Settings link.

4 Select Network Cards

.

5 Select Add New.

You can conserve battery

power by removing the Wi-Fi card or turning
off a Wi-Fi connection when you are not
planning to use it for an extended period.

TIP

The wired equivalent privacy (WEP)

encryption method is enabled by default and
may interfere with your ability to connect to a
network that broadcasts its name. See
Connecting to a closed network to learn how
to enable or disable WEP encryption.
