Connecting to a Wi-Fi (WLAN) access point
To use Wi-Fi (WLAN) on the MobileMapper 60 handheld, you must access a wireless access point, or
“hotspot.” Some hotspots are open and you can easily connect to them. Others are hidden or implement
other security features, so you must configure the handheld so it can connect to them.
The Status bar displays icons that indicate Wi-Fi status.
When you connect to a Wi-Fi network, the handheld obtains a network address and other information it
needs from the network. If required, you can configure the handheld with advanced settings; see
Advanced Wi-Fi settings below.
To turn on the Wi-Fi radio and connect to a Wi-Fi network:
1. Tap Settings / Network &Internet.
2. Make sure Wi-Fi is turned on. If it is not, tap the slider to turn it on.
The handheld lists the networks available. Secured networks are indicated with a Lock icon.
To view details about the speed, security, address, and related settings of the network you are
connected to, tap the network name.
By default, when the Wi-Fi radio is on, notifications appear in the Status bar when the handheld
detects an open Wi-Fi network. To receive notifications when open networks are in range, in the Wi-
Fi screen, tap Wi-Fi preferences at the bottom of the screen, and then turn on Open network
notification.
