Connecting Using Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi provides wireless Internet access over distances
of up to 300 feet. To use your device’s Wi-Fi, you need
access to a wireless access point or “hotspot”.
Turning Wi-Fi On and Connecting to a

Settings > Wireless &
networks .

Select the Wi-Fi check box to turn Wi-Fi on. The
device will scan for available wireless networks.

Wi-Fi settings
. The network names and security
settings (Open network or Secured with WEP) of
detected Wi-Fi networks are displayed in the Wi-Fi
networks section.

open network, you will be automatically connected
to the network. If you selected a network that is
secured with WEP, enter the key, and tap

Depending on the network type and its security
settings, you may also need to enter more information
or choose a security certificate.
When your device is connected to a wireless network,
the Wi-Fi icon (
) appears in the status bar and
tells you the approximate signal strength (number of
bands that light up). If
Network notification
in Wi-Fi
settings is enabled, this icon ( ) appears in the
status bar whenever the device detects an available
wireless network within range.
Note:
The availability and range of the Wi-Fi
signal depends on the number,
infrastructure, and other objects through
which the signal passes.
Note:
The next time your device connects to a
previously accessed secured wireless
network, you will not be prompted to enter
the WEP key again, unless you reset your
device to its factory default settings.
Wi-Fi networks are self-discoverable, which
means no additional steps are required for
your device to connect to a Wi-Fi network.
It may be necessary to provide a
username and password for certain closed
wireless networks.
