The Connections Optimizer works by searching for available "remembered" Wi-Fi networks. If 
you do not leave your Wi-Fi antenna on all the time, you will only notice the Connections 
Optimizer operating at certain times of the day in a small number of locations on the network. 
Your Wi-Fi antenna will conserve battery by scanning for connections periodically (not 
continuously), and if no connection is achieved, the antennas will be turned off. You may also 
manually turn the antennas off during the scan period.  

To facilitate quality assurance and enable feature enhancements, information is collected about 
your battery levels, Wi-Fi and network connections and usage. No personal information is 
collected.
