Wi-Fi

You can connect your device to the Internet using Wi-Fi.
To use Wi-Fi on your device, you need access to a wireless point or “hotspot”

within a distance of up to 300 feet (100 meters).

NOTE:

The range and quality of the Wi-Fi signal is affected by the number of

connected devices, infrastructure, and objects through which the signal passes.

To turn on Wi-Fi and connect to a network

1 Touch the Home button

 Menu button  SettingsWireless

controlsWi-Fi to select the Wi-Fi check box. The device scans for

available wireless networks.

2 Touch Wi-Fi settings. The network names and security settings (Open

network or Secured with WEP/WPA/WPA2/WPS) of discovered Wi-Fi

networks display in the

Wi-Fi networks list.

3 Flick the list and touch to select a Wi-Fi network to connect to.
4 Enter a password (if necessary), then touch Connect to connect to the Wi-

Fi network.

NOTE:

To connect to a network protected by Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP), WPA

(Wi-Fi Protected Access), WPA2, or WPS (Wireless Protected Setup), you must

enter the WEP/WPA/WPA2/WPS security key to obtain authorized access to the

network. The next time your device connects to a previously accessed secured

wireless network, you will not be asked to enter the WEP/WPA/WPA2/WPS key

again, unless you reset your device to its factory default settings.

NOTE:

Your device has the ability to maintain a constant web connection through

Wi-Fi or mobile networks (GPRS, EDGE, 3G, or HSPA). However, Wi-Fi connection

has priority over mobile network connection if both are available.
