Connecting To A Network (Cont’d)
2. According to the security protocol used by your chosen network,
a box will appear requesting an access code or encryption key.
Touch it to summon the on-screen keyboard and carefully
copy the access key from your Router or Wireless Hub.
Take care to copy it exactly. It is case sensitive.
Use the Caps Lock,
and [ABC/123/ALT] toggle key to find the symbols you require, and
then touch the [Done] button at the bottom right of the screen.

unless you explicitly delete the connection. To test your network link
click the ‘Home’ (house icon) in the top navigation browser and touch
the ‘Browser’ or ‘Opera Mini’ icon.
