Cell info display — Set the device to indicate when it is used
in a cellular network based on microcellular network (MCN)
technology and to activate cell info reception.
Wireless LAN
Your device can detect and connect to wireless local area
networks (WLAN). Using a WLAN, you can connect your device
to the internet and compatible devices that have WLAN
support.
About WLAN
To use a wireless local area network (WLAN) connection, it
must be available in the location, and your device must be
connected to the WLAN. Some WLANs are protected, and you
need an access key from the service provider to connect to
them.
Using WLAN may be restricted in some countries. For
example, in France, you are only allowed to use WLAN
indoors. For more information, contact your local authorities.
Features that use WLAN, or that are allowed to run in the
background while using other features, increase the demand
on battery power and reduce the battery life.
Important: Always enable one of the available encryption
methods to increase the security of your wireless LAN
connection. Using encryption reduces the risk of
unauthorised access to your data.
WLAN connections
To use a wireless LAN (WLAN) connection, you must create an
internet access point (IAP) for WLAN. Use the access point for
applications that need to connect to the internet.
A WLAN connection is established when you create a data
connection using a WLAN internet access point. The active
WLAN connection ends when you end the data connection.
You can use WLAN during a voice call or when packet data is
active. You can only be connected to one WLAN access point
device at a time, but several applications can use the same
internet access point.
When the device is in the offline profile, you can still use WLAN
(if available). Remember to comply with any applicable safety
requirements when establishing and using a WLAN
connection.
Tip: To check the unique media access control (MAC) address
that identifies your device, open the dialler and enter
*#62209526#.
WLAN wizard
Select Menu > Settings and Connectivity > WLAN.
The WLAN wizard helps you to connect to a wireless LAN
(WLAN) and manage your WLAN connections.
If the search finds WLANs, to create an internet access point
(IAP) for a connection and start the web browser using this
IAP, select the connection and Start web browsing.
