Using the WLAN Radio
GeoExplorer 2005 Series Getting Started Guide 65
Connecting to a network using wireless LAN
connectivity
To automatically connect to a network or access point using the
wireless LAN connection you have set up:
1. Remove the handheld from the support module, as the handheld
prioritizes a USB connection over a wireless LAN connection.
2. Bring the handheld within range of the network or access point.
3. Start using the desired program, for example Windows Explorer
Mobile.
If you are within range of more than one network or access point that
you have set up wireless LAN connections to, you may need to
manually select the connection you want to use (see Connecting to
the Internet, page 48 and Connecting to work, page 49).
Enabling Flight mode
When Flight mode is enabled, the handheld cannot send or receive
Bluetooth or WLAN signals.
To enable Flight mode, do one of the following:
• Tap / Settings / System / Power / Wireless tab. Select Wireless
signals off (Flight mode).
• Tap in the title bar and then tap Turn on flight mode.
Disabling the WLAN radio
The GeoExplorer 2005 series handheld is shipped with the integrated
WLAN radio enabled. You can disable (that is, turn off) the radio, for
example, if you want to conserve power.
To disable or re-enable the WLAN radio:
1. Tap / Settings / Connections / Wireless Network.
2. Tap the Tools softkey and select Disable Radio.
