Web and Data

Your phone's data capabilities let you wirelessly access the Internet or your corporate network
through a variety of connections, including Wi-Fi, 4G, Data Services (3G Network), and Virtual
Private Networks (VPN).

Connect Wi-Fi

Wi-Fi is a wireless networking technology that can provide Internet access at distances of up to
100 meters, depending on the Wi-Fi router and your surroundings.

To use Wi-Fi on your phone, you must connect to a wireless access point, or hotspot. Some
access points are open and you can simply connect to them without entering any information.
Others are hidden or implement other security features, so you must configure your phone to
connect to them.

Turn off Wi-Fi when you're not using it to extend the life of your battery.

When you connect to a Wi-Fi network, the phone obtains a network address and other
information it needs from the network, using the DHCP protocol. To configure the phone with a

static IP address and other advanced settings, tap

> Advanced from the Wi-Fi settings

menu.

Turn Wi-Fi On and Connect to a Network

Use the Wireless & networks setting menu to enable your phone's Wi-Fi radio and connect to an
available Wi-Fi network.

connects to it.

3. Tap a network to connect to it.

that network by touching Connect.

network administrator for details.)
