Getting Connected 85
5.6 Using Wi-Fi Connection
Wi-Fi provides wireless Internet access over distances of up to 300 feet. To
use Wi-Fi on your phone, you need access to a wireless access point of your
service provider. When you are in public places such as in a coffee shop or
restaurant, you will need access to their public wireless access points (also
referred to as “hotspots”).
Note The availability and range of your phone’s Wi-Fi signal depends on the
number, infrastructure, and other objects through which the signal passes.
To connect to an existing Wi-Fi network
1. On the Home screen, select Start > Comm Manager.
This opens the Comm Manager screen.
2. Select the Wi-Fi icon. The Wi-Fi icon is then highlighted to indicate
that Wi-Fi is turned on.
Note If a connection is not detected, continue with the following steps.
3. Select Menu > Wi-Fi Settings to open the Wi-Fi Settings screen.
4. Select Wi-Fi to view a list of active Wi-Fi networks.
5. Select an active Wi-Fi network from the list.
6. Select Connect to connect to the selected Wi-Fi network.
You can also configure settings for connecting to a Wi-Fi network by
selecting Menu
> Edit. You can specify the network key and required
information on the Wi-Fi Connections screen.
7. Select Done on the Wi-Fi screen.
Notes
• Wi-Fi connects to the default network that is available on your phone.
However, GPRS starts by default if your phone does not detect any Wi-Fi
signal.

Status to check the current connection status and signal quality of each
Wi-Fi channel.
• Configure your phone so that the Wi-Fi function turns off automatically
when no signal is detected to conserve battery power. In Comm Manager,
select Settings
> Wi-Fi Settings > Wi-Fi > Menu > Wi-Fi Settings.
