3 Using the Wi-Fi (WLAN) and Bluetooth radios
Adding a Wi-Fi network
You can add a Wi-Fi network so the handheld remembers it, along with any security details. You can then
connect to it automatically when it is in range. You must also add a Wi-Fi network to connect to it if the
network does not broadcast its name (SSID), or to add a Wi-Fi network when you are out of its range.
To join a secured network, you must obtain the security details from the network’s administrator.
1. Tap Settings / Network &Internet.
2. Make sure Wi-Fi is turned on. If it is not, tap the slider to turn it on.
3. At the bottom of the screen tap Add network.
4. Enter the network SSID.
5. Select the type of security for the network. Enter the password and other security details for the
network.
6. Tap Save.
The handheld connects to the wireless network automatically when you are within range.
Forgetting a Wi-Fi network
You can make the handheld forget about the details of a Wi-Fi network that you saved—for example, if
you do not want the handheld to connect to it automatically or if it is a network that you no longer use.
1. Tap Settings / Network &Internet.
2. Make sure Wi-Fi is turned on. If it is not, tap the slider to turn it on.
3. Tap the network you are connected to, then tap FORGET.

bottom of the screen. Advanced settings include:
