206 Section 3F: Using Wireless Connections
Wi-Fi Status Icons
The Wi-Fi icon on your Today screen indicates the status of the Wi-Fi feature.
Connecting to an Open Network
You can connect to an open network or to a secure network for which you have already set
up a connection. If you have access to multiple Wi-Fi networks, you can select which network
you want to connect to.
1. Press Wi-Fi on the side of your smartphone. What
happens next depends on the state of Wi-Fi before you
pressed the button:
Ⅲ Wi-Fi was already on: Your smartphone scans for
available networks and automatically connects when
possible. If your device does not automatically connect
and the Configure Wireless Networks screen appears,
highlight the network you want, and press Connect (left
softkey).
The Wi-Fi feature on your smartphone is turned on, but you are not connected to a
Wi-Fi network.
You have a Wi-Fi notification waiting. For example, if Wi-Fi is turned on and you are
not within range of a preferred network, you can tap this icon to view available
networks.
Your smartphone is connected to a Wi-Fi network, and you are actively in the
process of connecting or you are connected and are transmitting data.
Note
The WEP (wired equivalent privacy) encryption method is enabled by default
and may interfere with your ability to connect to a network that broadcasts
its name. See “Connecting to a Secure Network” on page 207 to learn how
to disable WEP encryption.
