11.2 Connecting to the Internet

Your device is equipped with powerful networking functions that enable you to connect to the Internet.

Ways of Connecting to the Internet

Your device’s networking capabilities allow you to access the Internet or your corporate network at work
through wireless and conventional connections. You can connect to the Internet through one of the following
connections:

Wi-Fi

Dial-up

Work connections, such as Virtual Private Network (VPN) and proxy connections

Wi-Fi

Wi-Fi provides wireless Internet access over distances of up to about 300 feet. To use Wi-Fi on your device, you
need access to a wireless access point of your service provider. When you are in public places, such as in a coffee
shop or restaurant, you will need access to the public wireless access points (also referred to as “hotspots” for
such places).

Note:

The availability and range of your device’s Wi-Fi signal depends on the infrastructure and other objects
through which the signal passes.

To turn Wi-Fi on or off:

At the lower left side of your device, slide the WLAN switch upward. The icons on the switch represent
the following:

: Wi-Fi is turned on.

: Wi-Fi is turned off.

To connect to a wireless network

1. After Wi-Fi has been turned on, your device then scans for available wireless networks in your area.

The network names of the detected wireless networks will be displayed in a pop-up message window.
Tap a wireless LAN, and then tap OK.

2. In the next pop-up message window, tap The Internet if the wireless LAN connects your device to the

Internet, or tap Work if the wireless LAN connects your device to a private network.
