WiFi connection

Your MC35 supports an optional WiFi hardware (IEEE 802.11b/g) you can use to scan for existing wireless local area network (WLAN) access points or hot spots. WLAN access points or hot spots can be found in homes and office or public areas such as inside airports, restaurants, coffee shops, hotels, or other public areas. Just like in a GPRS connection, a WiFi access allows you to connect to a computer, access the Internet, and send/ receive e-mail and files.

NOTE: WiFi access in some areas may require a separate purchase of a service contract with a wireless service provider. Check with a WiFi service provider in your area for more information.

IMPORTANT: Before connecting to a wireless network, verify that the region code is correct. If traveling to different countries with your device, make sure the region code is set to comply with the regulations in a particular country. Reset the region code after returning. Residents of both Canada and the United States should reset the region code to USA FCC. See "WiFi Region Switch" on page 173 for more information.
