Networks that do not broadcast their name
are known as closed networks. Follow the
instructions for the type of network you
want to connect to.
NOTE See Regulatory Information for
additional guidance on using a Wi-Fi card
with your Treo 700wx smartphone.
IMPORTANT Depending on where you are
on a network and certain coverage
conditions, you might experience
interruptions with your phone operation
while using a Wi-Fi card. Palm
recommends that you turn off the phone
radio when using any Wi-Fi card or remove
the Wi-Fi card when not in use to ensure
that you can always make and receive
phone calls. For EMERGENCY calls, always
remove the card from your smartphone to
ensure optimal connectivity.
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).
2 Insert the Wi-Fi card into the expansion
slot (see Removing and inserting
expansion cards).
TIP Turning off the Bluetooth ® feature may
improve your Wi-Fi card performance. To turn
the Bluetooth feature off, go to your Today
screen, tap the Bluetooth icon, and then
uncheck the Turn on Bluetooth box.
KEY TERM Wi-Fi access point (also called a
hotspot) A network device with an antenna
that provides wireless connections to a larger
network.
KEY TERM SSID The name that identifies a
Wi-Fi network. If a network does not
broadcast its SSID, you must get the SSID
from the system administrator in order to
connect to the network.
