2.2 Connecting to the Wi-Fi Network

To configure the Wi-Fi connection, do the following:
1. Tap and drag the status bar downward to open the notification panel.
2. On the Quick Settings screen, tap SETTINGS.
3. Turn on Wi-Fi. The device searches for available networks within range and displays the
searched Access Point (AP) names on the right panel.
