Getting Connected 107

Turning Wi-Fi on and connecting to a wireless network

1. Press HOME > MENU, and then tap Settings > Wireless controls.

Select the Wi-Fi check box to turn Wi-Fi on. The phone will scan

for available wireless networks.

Tap Wi-Fi settings. The network names and security settings

(Open network or Secured with WEP) of detected Wi-Fi

networks are displayed in the Wi-Fi networks section.

Tap a Wi-Fi network to connect. If you selected an open network,

you will be automatically connected to the network. If you

selected a network that is secured with WEP, enter the key and

then tap Connect.

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.

Checking 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.
