CHAPTER 9
Customizing Your Smartphone
Connecting to a network that broadcasts its name
Wi-Fi networks in public places often broadcast their network name.
Your smartphone automatically attempts to detect some network
settings, so you can connect to this type of network with minimal
configuration.
1.
Wake up your smartphone’s screen (see “Waking up the screen
and turning it off” on page 11).
2.
Insert the Wi-Fi card into the expansion slot (see “Removing and
inserting expansion cards” on page 167).
3.
If the Multiple Networks Detected dialog box appears, select the
network you want to connect to.
4.
When the New Network Detected dialog box appears, select the
type of network you want to connect to.
5.
Press Connect
(left action key) to connect to the network.
6.
If prompted, enter the password provided by the system
administrator.
Connecting to a closed network
Since closed networks have additional security features, your
smartphone cannot detect the network’s settings; you must obtain the
settings from the system administrator and enter the settings manually.
You can also use these steps to manually create a connection with an
open network.
Did You Know?
You can conserve
battery power by
removing the Wi-Fi
card or turning off
a Wi-Fi connection
when you are not
planning to use it for
an extended period.
