Connecting using Bluetooth and Wi-Fi

Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications technology that allows devices to exchange information over a distance of about eight meters without requiring a physical connection. Wi-Fi provides wireless Internet access over distances of up to 100 meters. To use Wi-Fi on your device, you need access to a wireless access point or “hotspot.”

Connecting a Bluetooth headset

You can listen to music over a Bluetooth stereo headset or have hands-free conversations using a compatible Bluetooth hands-free headset.

1.Turn on the Bluetooth stereo or hands-free headset that you want to connect with. Refer to the headset documentation.

2.On your device, press Home > Menu, and then tap Settings > Wireless & networks.

3.Select the Bluetooth check box.

4.Tap Bluetooth settings > Scan for devices.

5.Tap the name of the stereo or hands-free headset in the Bluetooth devices section. Your device then automatically attempts to pair with the headset.

6.If automatic pairing fails, enter the passcode supplied with your headset.

When the Bluetooth headset is connected to your device, the Bluetooth connected icon displays in the status bar. You can now start using the headset to listen to music and/or make and receive phone calls.

Connecting to a Wi-Fi network

1.From the Home screen, tap Menu, and tap Settings > Wireless & networks.

2.Select the Wi-Fi check box.

3.Tap Wi-Fi settings.

4.Tap a Wi-Fi network to connect to. 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.

When your phone is connected to a wireless network, the Wi-Fi icon appears in the status bar and tells you the approximate signal strength (number of bands that light up).

If Network notification in Wi-Fi settings is enabled, this icon appears in the status bar whenever the phone detects an available wireless network within range.
