Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi provides wireless Internet access over distances of up to 300 feet. To use your phone’s Wi-Fi, you
need access to a wireless access point or “hotspot.”
The availability and range of the Wi-Fi signal depends on a number of factors, including infrastructure and
other objects through which the signal passes.
Turn Wi-Fi On and Connect to a Wireless Network
By default, your phone’s Wi-Fi feature is turned off. Turning Wi-Fi on makes your phone able to discover
and connect to compatible in-range Wi-Fi networks (or WAPs - wireless access points).
Turn Wi-Fi On
1. Press and then tap > Settings > Connections.
2. Tap the ON/OFF switch beside Wi-Fi to turn Wi-Fi On.
Tip: You can also turn Wi-Fi on and off through the Notification panel. Drag the Notification panel down
and tap Wi-Fi to enable or disable Wi-Fi.
Note: Most Wi-Fi networks are self-discoverable, which means no additional steps are required for your
phone to connect to a Wi-Fi network. It may be necessary to provide a user name and password for
certain closed wireless networks.
Connect to a Wi-Fi Network
1. Press and tap > Settings > Connections > Wi-Fi.
2. The network names and security settings (Open network or Secured with xxx) of detected Wi-Fi
networks are displayed.
 When you select an open network, you will be automatically connected to the network.
 When you select a secured network, you will need to enter the wireless password to connect
to the network. Enter the password and tap Connect. You can use the show password
option to display the password as you enter it.
Add a New Network Connection
1. Press and tap > Settings > Connections > Wi-Fi.
2. Tap Add Wi-Fi network.
3. Enter the Network SSID. This is the name of your Wi-Fi network.
4. Tap the Security field and select a security option. This must match the current security setting
on your target network.
5. Tap Connect to store the new information and connect to the Wi-Fi network.
