To save battery power while connected to a wireless network

Using Wi-Fi consumes battery power fast. Turn off Wi-Fi when not in use. You can also enable power saving settings.

1.Tap Start > Settings > Connections tab > Wireless LAN.

2.On the Power Mode tab, move the Power Save Mode slider to a position that optimizes performance with the least power consumption.

For example, move the slider to the left (Best Performance) to have the optimal wireless network performance; move to the right (Best Battery) to obtain the maximum battery usage.

10.5  GPRS/3G

Use GPRS/3G (or EDGE, if available) to connect to the Internet and to send and receive MMS messages on your device. You will need a data plan to use your wireless service provider’s GPRS/3G network. Check with your wireless service provider to find out about GPRS/3G rates.

GPRS/3G settings are already preconfigured on your device, and your device is ready to use your wireless service provider’s GPRS/3G services. Do not change the settings as this may cause services to stop working..

To add a new GPRS/3G connection

In times when you need to add another GPRS/3G connection on your device, obtain the Access point name from your wireless service provider. Also, check if a user name and password are required.

1.Tap Start > Settings > Connections tab > Connections.

2.Under My ISP, tap Add a new modem connection.

3.On the Make New Connection screen, enter a name for the connection.
