Sprint Nextel 800w manual Wi-Fi Status Icons, Connecting to an Open Network, 190

Wi-Fi Status Icons

The Wi-Fi icon on your Today screen indicates the status of the Wi-Fi feature.

The Wi-Fi feature on your Treo is turned on, but you are not connected to a Wi-Fi network.

You have a Wi-Fi notification waiting. For example, if Wi-Fi is turned on and you are not within range of a preferred network, you can tap this icon to view available networks.

Your Treo is connected to a Wi-Fi network, and you are actively transmitting data.

Connecting to an Open Network

You can connect to an open network or to a secure network for which you already set up a connection. If you have access to multiple Wi-Fi networks, you can select which network you want to connect to.

Note

The WEP (wired equivalent privacy) encryption method is enabled by default and may interfere with your ability to connect to a network that broadcasts its name. See “Connecting to a Secure Network” on page 191 to learn how to disable WEP encryption.

1.Press Wi-Fi on the top of your Treo. (Your Treo scans for available networks and automatically connects when possible.)

Tip

You can narrow or expand the list of networks that appear on the Configure Wireless Networks screen. Select the Networks to access list, and then select the type of networks you want to view.

2.If your device was not able to automatically connect, the Configure Wireless Networks screen appears; highlight the network to which you want to connect.
