Wi-Fi/WLAN connection

Your device can detect and connect to wireless local area networks (WLAN). Using

a WLAN, you can connect your device to the internet and compatible devices that

have WLAN support.

About WLAN

To use a Wi-Fi network connection, it must be available in the location, and your

device must be connected to the Wi-Fi network. Some WLANs are protected, and

you need an access key from the 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 WLAN, or that are allowed to run in the background while using

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