To save battery power while connected to a wireless network

Using Wi-Fi quickly consumes battery power. Turn off Wi-Fi when not in use.

You can also enable power saving settings.

1.

Tap Start > Settings > Connections

tab > Wireless LAN.

2.

On the Power Mode tab, move the

Power Save Mode slider to a position

that optimises performance with the

least power consumption.
For example, move the slider to

the left (Best Performance) to

have the optimal wireless network

performance; move to the right (Best

Battery) to obtain the maximum

battery usage.

10.5 GPRS/3G

Use GPRS/3G (or EDGE, if available) to connect to the Internet and to send

and receive picture messages on your device. You will need a data plan

to use your wireless service provider’s GPRS/3G network. Check with your

wireless service provider to find out about GPRS/3G rates.
GPRS/3G settings are already preconfigured on your device, and your device

is ready to use your wireless service provider’s GPRS/3G services. Do not

change the settings as this may cause services to stop working.

To add a new GPRS/3G connection

In times when you need to add another GPRS/3G connection on your

device, obtain the Access point name from your wireless service provider.

Also, check if a user name and password are required.

1.

Tap Start > Settings > Connections tab > Connections.

2.

Under My ISP, tap Add a new modem connection.

3.

On the Make New Connection screen, enter a name for the

connection.
