4. If you have more than one unit, PC and/or cable, testing 

different combinations of equipment can help isolate the cause 
of the problem. 

5. If you suspect the unit may have been connected to the PC 

USB port before the connectivity software was installed, then 
uninstall, reboot the PC, and reinstall.

WLAN (802.11) 

If your unit comes with built-in WLAN (also called Wireless LAN 
or 802.11) capability, you can wirelessly transmit data to and from 
your unit by connecting to available access points or hot spots. 
Once connected, you can access the Internet and other network 
information, send and receive email and use virtual private 
networks (VPNs) for secure remote access. To find out if you have 
WLAN installed in your unit, tap 

Start / Settings / System / 

System Information / Wireless

The WLAN is off by default. To turn the WLAN on or off, tap 

WLAN

 from the 

Today

 screen or tap

 Start / Settings / 

Connections / Wireless Manager 

and

 

tap

 Wireless LAN

. The unit 

will automatically detect wireless networks or hot spots. (There 
may be a slight delay before it updates.) Turn it off when not in use 
to save battery power and possibly speed up other processes. 

NOTE

: There is a feature found under 

Start / Programs / Wireless 

Access 

where you can limit the number of networks to be visible. 

When 

limit network visibility

 is selected, only the ones listed can 

be used and other networks will not be visible. This feature is a 
convenience to keep other wireless networks from alerting your 
unit. If you want to add other wireless networks, change this setting. 

Internet

 connection is one in which Virtual Private Network (VPN) 

services are not involved and proxy servers may or may not be 
utilized. This can include a typical 

Internet

 connection through a 

corporate wireless network. A 

Work

 connection allows you to view 

file shares on a corporate network.
