About Wi-Fi

Wi-Fi (short for "wireless fidelity") is a term used for certain
types of Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN). Wi-Fi
communication requires access to an existing and accessible
Wireless Access Point (WAP). These WAPs can either be
Open (unsecured) as within most Hot Spots, or Secured
(requiring knowledge of the Router name and password).

Note: After you complete a connection to an active Wi-Fi

network, the Wi-Fi Calling feature will automatically be
enabled.

Activating Wi-Fi

By default, your device’s Wi-Fi feature is turned off
(deactivated). Activating Wi-Fi allows your device to discover
and connect to compatible in-range WAPs (Wireless Access
Points).

1. From the Home screen, press

and then tap

Settings.

2. In a single motion touch and slide the Wi-Fi slider to the

right to turn it on

. The slider color

indicates the activation status. The device scans for

available in-range wireless networks and displays

them under Wi-Fi networks on the same screen.

Connecting to a Wi-Fi Network

1. From the Home screen, press

and then tap

Settings Wi-Fi.

The network names and security settings (Open

networks display in the Wi-Fi networks section.

2. Tap the network you wish to connect to.

Note: When you select an open network you are automatically

connected.
