Q: How do I switch wireless LAN (WLAN) off on my Nokia
device?
A: The WLAN on your Nokia device will switch off when
you are not trying to connect, or are not connected
to another access point, or scanning for available
networks. To further reduce battery consumption,
you can specify that your Nokia device does not scan,
or scans less often, for available networks in the
background. WLAN will switch off in between
background scans.
To change the background scan settings:
1 Press , and select Tools > Settings > Connection >
Wireless LAN.
2 Change the value of Show WLAN availability to Never
to stop background scans, or increase the background
scan time interval in Scan for networks.
3 To save your changes, select Back.
When Scan for networks is set to Never, the WLAN
availability icon will not be shown in the standby mode.
However, you can still manually scan for available WLAN
networks, and connect to WLAN networks as usual.
