Wi-Fi®
Use Wi-Fi® connections to surf the Internet, download applications, or send and receive
email. Once you have connected to a Wi-Fi® network, your device remembers the
network and automatically connects to it the next time you come within range.
Some Wi-Fi® networks require you to log in to a web page before you can get access.
Contact the relevant Wi-Fi® network administrator for more information.
Available Wi-Fi® networks may be open or secured:
•
Open networks are indicated by next to the Wi-Fi® network name.
•
Secured networks are indicated by next to the Wi-Fi® network name.
Some Wi-Fi® networks do not show up in the list of available networks because they do not
broadcast their network name (SSID). If you know the network name, you can add it manually
to your list of available Wi-Fi® networks.

Wi-Fi® settings
When you are connected to a Wi-Fi® network or when there are Wi-Fi® networks
available in your vicinity, it is possible to view the status of these networks. You can also
enable your device to notify you whenever an open Wi-Fi® network is detected.
If you are not connected to a Wi-Fi® network, your device uses a cellular data
connection to access the Internet (if you have set up and enabled a cellular data
connection on your device). By adding a Wi-Fi® sleep policy, you can specify when to
switch from Wi-Fi® to cellular data.
