To use a wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) connection, it must be available in the location, and your

device must be connected to the Wi-Fi. Some Wi-Fi are protected, and you need an access

key from your service provider to connect to them.

Note: Using Wi-Fi may be restricted in some countries. For example, in France, you

are only allowed to use Wi-Fi indoors. For more information, contact your local

authorities.
Features that use Wi-Fi, or that are allowed to run in the background while using other

features, increase the demand on battery power and reduce the battery life.
