Connect to wireless networks

After Wi-Fi is turned on in Comm Manager, your device scans for available wireless networks in your area.

To connect to a wireless network

1.The network names of the detected wireless networks are displayed on a pop-up message window. Tap the desired wireless network, then tap OK.

2.On the next pop-up message window, do one of the following:

Tap The Internet if the wireless network connects your device to the Internet.

Tap Work if the wireless network connects your device to a private network.

3.If the wireless network is secured by a network key, enter the key, then tap Connect.

Next time you use your device to detect wireless networks, you will not see the pop-up message windows again, and you will not be prompted to enter the network key of the previously accessed wireless network (unless you perform a hard reset which will erase custom settings on your device).

Note Wi-Fi networks are self-discoverable, which means no additional steps are required for your device to connect to a Wi-Fi network. It may be necessary to provide a username and password for certain closed wireless networks.
