User guide

When you’re trying to access the Internet, by using Safari or Mail for example, and
you aren’t in range of a Wi-Fi network you‘ve previously used, this option tells
iPod touch to look for another network. iPod touch displays a list of all available Wi-Fi
networks that you can choose from. (Networks that require a password appear with a
lock icon.) If “Ask to Join Networks” is turned o, you must manually join a network
to connect to the Internet when a previously used network isn’t available.
Forget a network, so iPod touch doesn’t join it: Choose Wi-Fi and tap next to a
network you’ve joined before. Then tap “Forget this Network.”
Join a closed Wi-Fi network: To join a Wi-Fi network that isn’t shown in the list of
scanned networks, choose Wi-Fi > Other, then enter the network name. If the network
requires a password, tap Security, tap the type of security the network uses, and enter
the password.
You must already know the network name, password, and security type to connect to
a closed network.
Some Wi-Fi networks may require you to enter or adjust additional settings, such as a
client ID or static IP address. Ask the network administrator which settings to use.
Adjust settings for connecting to a Wi-Fi network: Choose Wi-Fi, then tap next to
a network.
VPN
This setting appears when you have VPN congured on iPod touch, allowing you to
turn VPN on or o. See “Network” on page 15 9.
Notications
This setting appears when you open an app (such as Game Center) that uses the
Apple Push Notication service.
Push notications alert you to new information, even when the app isn’t running.
Notications vary by app, but may include text or sound alerts, and a numbered badge
on the app icon on the Home screen.
You can turn notications o if you don’t want to be notied, or if you want to
conserve battery life.
Turn all notications on or o: Tap Notications, then turn notications on or o.
Turn sounds, alerts, or badges on or o for an app: Tap Notications, choose an app
from the list, then choose the types of notication you want to turn on or o.
