If you select No to skip the scan for WLAN networks,
the following settings are shown:
Network name (SSID) —Enter the name of the WLAN
network. If you create an ad hoc network, ensure that
the name of the network is unique. When you connect
to the internet over WLAN, the connection is based on
this information. If the field is dimmed and cannot be
edited, the scanned SSID contains characters entered in
an unknown character set, and not standard character
sets (UTF-8) as the device expects.
Network is hidden —You must select this option if the
name of your WLAN network is hidden. When this
option is selected, your device actively searches for the
hidden WLAN when you establish an internet
connection.
Network mode —Select Infrastructure or Ad hoc . The
infrastructure mode is used with the internet
connections.
Security method —Select None (no security), WEP
(medium security), WPA pre-shared key (high
security), or WPA with EAP (high security).
Important: Always enable one of the
available encryption methods to increase the
security of your wireless LAN connection.
Using encryption reduces the risk of
unauthorized access to your data.
Select Next to proceed.

the settings, or Advanced to define advanced settings.
Tip: You may need to define advanced settings,
for example, if your internet access point
requires the use of proxies.
Features using wireless LAN increase the demand on
battery power and reduce the battery life.

Before you can connect to the internet over a cellular
network, you must do the following:
• Subscribe to the desired data service with your cellular
service provider.
• Acquire proper internet settings from your cellular
service provider.
• Pair a compatible mobile phone with your device. Your
device needs an external modem (phone), which is
connected to your device with Bluetooth wireless
technology.
