Using the Wireless LAN

Battery Saving Tip: Turn WLAN off when you are not using it. When WLAN is on, be sure one of the WLAN power saving modes is selected. Refer to “Changing the Wireless LAN Power Saving Modes” in Chapter 3, “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 WLAN Power Save modes.

2.If you are prompted for a Network Key (WEP), enter it and tap Connect. If you are not sure, contact your network administrator.
