5.6 Using Wi-Fi Connection
Wi-Fi provides wireless Internet access over distances of up to 100 meters.
To use Wi-Fi on your phone, you need access to a wireless access point of
your service provider. When you are in public places such as in a coffee shop
or restaurant, you will need access to their public wireless access points
(also referred to as “hotspots”).
Note The availability and range of your phone’s Wi-Fi signal depends on the
number, infrastructure, and other objects through which the signal passes.
To connect to an existing Wi-Fi network
1. On the Home screen, click Start > Comm Manager.
This opens the Comm Manager screen.
2. Click the WLAN icon. The WLAN icon is then highlighted to indicate
that WLAN is turned on.
Note If a connection is not detected, continue with the following steps.
3. Click Menu > WLAN Settings to open the WLAN Settings screen.
4. Select Wi-Fi to view a list of active Wi-Fi networks.
5. Select an active Wi-Fi network from the list.
6. Click Connect to connect to the selected Wi-Fi network.
You can also configure settings for connecting to a Wi-Fi network by
clicking Menu > Edit. You can specify the network key and required
information on the Wi-Fi Connections screen.
7. Click Done on the Wi-Fi screen.
