Using Wi-Fi
Getting Acquainted
With wireless access, you do not need to use cables to connect
your HP iPAQ to the Internet. Instead, access points transmit data
to and from your wireless device. Your HP iPAQ can connect to
an 802.11b Wi-Fi or connect directly to other Wi-Fi-enabled
devices. With Wi-Fi, you can:
■
Access the Internet
■
Send and receive e-mail
■
Access corporate network information
■
Use virtual private networks (VPNs) for secure remote access
■
Use hotspots for wireless connectivity
Note:
Use of dial-up and wireless Internet, e-mail, corporate
networks, and other wireless communications, such as
Bluetooth-enabled devices, may require separately purchased
additional hardware and other compatible equipment, in addition
to a standard Wi-Fi infrastructure and a separately purchased
service contract. Check with your service provider for availability
and coverage in your area. Not all web content may be available.
Some web content may require installation of additional software.
