Getting Connected 161

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 will be displayed on a pop-up message window. Tap the desired wireless network, then tap OK.

Note When you select an open (unsecured) network, you will be automatically connected to the network after tapping OK. You do not need to do steps 2 and 3.

2.On the next pop-up message window, tap The Internet if the wireless network connects your device to the Internet. Otherwise, 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 this 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.
