Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi provides wireless Internet access over distances of up to 300 feet. To use your phone's Wi-Fi,
you need access to a wireless access point or "hotspot."
The availability and range of the Wi-Fi signal depends on a number of factors, including
infrastructure and other objects through which the signal passes.
Turn Wi-Fi On and Connect to a Wireless Network
By default, your phone's Wi-Fi feature is turned off. Turning Wi-Fi on makes your phone able to
discover and connect to compatible in-range Wi-Fi networks (or WAPs - wireless access points).
Turn Wi-Fi On
1. Press
and then tap
2. Tap the ON/OFF switch beside Wi-Fi to turn Wi-Fi On.
Tip: You can also turn Wi-Fi on and off through the Notification panel. Drag the Notification panel
down and tap Wi-Fi to enable or disable Wi-Fi.
Note: Most Wi-Fi networks are self-discoverable, which means no additional steps are required for
your phone to connect to a Wi-Fi network. It may be necessary to provide a user name and
password for certain closed wireless networks.
