Turning Wi-Fi on and connecting to a wireless network
1. Press HOME > MENU, and then tap Settings > Wireless controls.
2. Select the Wi-Fi check box to turn Wi-Fi on. The phone will scan
for available wireless networks.
3. Tap Wi-Fi settings. The network names and security settings
(Open network or Secured with WEP) of detected Wi-Fi
networks are displayed in the Wi-Fi networks section.
4. Tap a Wi-Fi network to connect. If you selected an open network,
you will be automatically connected to the network. If you
selected a network that is secured with WEP, enter the key and
then tap Connect.
Notes • The next time your phone connects to a previously accessed secured
wireless network, you will not be prompted to enter the WEP key
again, unless you reset your phone to its factory default settings.
• Wi-Fi networks are self-discoverable, which means no additional steps
are required for your phone to connect to a Wi-Fi network. It may be
necessary to provide a username and password for certain closed
wireless networks.
