138 Getting Connected
Next time you use your device to detect wireless networks, you
will not see the pop-up message windows again, and you will not
be prompted to enter the network key of the previously accessed
wireless network (unless you perform a hard reset which will erase
custom settings on your device).
Note
Battery power saving when using Wi-Fi
Using Wi-Fi consumes battery power fast. Turn off Wi-Fi when not in use. You
can also enable power saving settings.
To save battery power while connected to a wireless network
1.
Tap Start > Settings > Connections tab > Wi-Fi Status to open the
Wi-Fi Settings screen.
2.
On the Power Mode tab of the Wi-Fi Settings screen, move the Power
Save Mode slider to a position that optimizes performance with the
least power consumption.
For example, move the slider to the left (Best Performance) to have
the optimal WLAN performance; move to the right (Best Battery) to
obtain the maximum battery usage.
Wi-Fi networks are self-discoverable, which means no additional steps are
required for your device to connect to a Wi-Fi network. It may be necessary
to provide a username and password for certain closed wireless networks,
however.
