Getting Started:
The first time you turn on your Zippy Instant Messenger the Setup Wizard will guide you
through a brief setup process. During this process, you will search for and connect to
your wireless network, you will enter the screen name and password for your Instant
Messenger account, and you will define how the programmable keys on the Zippy Instant
Messenger keyboard will be used.
Step 1: Connecting to a Wireless Network (Home Network or Hotspot)
[] Turn Zippy IM On
Although wireless networks can be configured in a variety of ways, Zippy IM is designed
to make the Wireless connection process as automated and simple as possible.
When the device is turned on, Zippy will search for all available wireless networks and
sort them by type and strength. Zippy IM attempts to connect to the strongest
unencrypted networks first, followed by the strongest encrypted networks. (“For fee”
networks are not supported in the initial software release.)
If your network is unencrypted, it is likely that the connection will not require any input,
otherwise follow the on screen instructions to connect to your network. If you prefer to
manually select or configure a network, press Next while the device is searching for
networks. The steps for manually configuring your network are described in Chapter 2.
