Using Your
Palm® Wi-Fi®Card with the Treo™ 700w Smartphone
[ * ] NOTE This guide is for users who are using the Palm® Wi-Fi®card with a Treo™ 700w smartphone only. If you are using the Wi-Fi card with a different device such as a Palm OS handheld, refer to the Getting Started Guide and the documentation on the CD included with the Wi-Fi card for setup and usage instructions. The CD also contains software necessary to use the Wi-Fi card with other devices. The Treo 700w smartphone has this software built in, so you do not need the CD to use the Wi-Fi card with a Treo 700w smartphone.
Many corporate organizations and public environments, such as coffee shops, airports, and libraries, offer access to a Wi-Fi network. A Wi-Fi network is a wireless local area network (WLAN) based on the 802.11b standard. Some networks based on a different standard, 802.11g, may allow 802.11b-based devices to connect.
You can use the Wi-Fi card with your Treo 700w smartphone’s built-in software to set up a Wi-Fi connection and quickly connect to accessible Wi-Fi networks within range.
