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.

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.
