Getting Started with Wi-Fi

Use this section to learn how to use Wi-Fi, automatically connect
to a network, manually enter new network settings, and search for
networks.

Powering Wi-Fi On or Off

Note:

The Wi-Fi antenna for the HP iPAQ is located in the top of

the unit. If you cover up the top of the HP iPAQ after you have
turned on Wi-Fi, signal strength diminishes.

To turn on Wi-Fi from the Launch Page or traditional Today
screen, tap the Wireless icon (

), and then tap the Wi-Fi

button. When Wi-Fi is on, the Wireless LED (on the top-left
corner of your HP iPAQ) turns blue and the Wi-Fi button turns
amber. Once you connect to a wireless network, the Wi-Fi button
turns green.

Note:

Before accessing your wireless network, you must turn on

Wi-Fi. When the blue Wireless LED is on and the arrows at the
top of the screen show connected (

), your HP iPAQ is

connected to the wireless network.

To turn off Wi-Fi, tap the Wi-Fi button again. When Wi-Fi is off,
the Wireless LED is no longer blue and the Wi-Fi button turns
gray.

Battery Saving Tip: Turn Wi-Fi off when you are not using it.
When Wi-Fi is on, be sure one of the Wi-Fi power saving
modes is selected. Refer to

Chapter 10, “Managing the

Battery”

for more information.

Note:

Some Access Points and networks do not support one or

more of the power saving modes that are available. If you cannot
connect with a particular wireless network, try turning off the
Wi-Fi Power Save modes.
