screen, move the Power Save Mode slider to a position
that optimizes performance with the least power
consumption.

For example, move the slider to the left (Best
Performance) to have the optimal WLAN
performance; move to the right (Best Battery) to
obtain the maximum battery usage.

3. You can also select the Auto turn off WLAN if not

connected check box to allow your device to turn off
the WLAN function automatically when no signal is
detected.

To check the wireless LAN status:

Title bar. When you enable Wi-Fi on your device, the Wi-Fi ON icon ( ) will appear on the title bar.

icon ( ) appears on the title bar. The arrows in this icon will move back and forth while your device
is scanning for a wireless LAN signal. Once your device successfully connects to a wireless LAN, the
