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.
• Wi-Fi networks are self-discoverable, which means no additional steps are required for your phone
to connect to a Wi-Fi network. It may be necessary to provide a username and password for
certain closed wireless networks.
To check the wireless network status
You can check the current wireless connection status from the following:
•Status bar
When your phone is connected to a wireless network, the Wi-Fi icon appears in the status bar
and tells you the approximate signal strength (number of bands that light up). If Network
notification in Wi-Fi settings is enabled, this icon appears in the status bar whenever the phone
detects an available wireless network within range.
•Wi-Fi networks
On the Wireless controls screen, touch Wi-Fi settings, then touch the
wireless network that the phone is currently connected to. The Wi-Fi
network name, status, speed, signal strength, security information, and
IP address are displayed.
Note If you want to remove the wireless network settings on your phone,
touch Forget on this window. You will need to enter the settings again if
you want to connect to this wireless network.
To connect to another Wi-Fi network
1On the Wireless controls screen, touch Wi-Fi settings. Detected Wi-Fi networks are displayed in the
Wi-Fi networks section.
Tip To manually scan for available Wi-Fi networks, on the Wi-Fi settings screen, press MENU and then
touch Scan.
2Touch another Wi-Fi network to connect to it.
Note If the wireless network you want to connect to is not in the list of detected networks, scroll down
the screen, then touch Add Wi-Fi network. Enter the wireless network settings, then touch Save.
