Connecting To Wi-Fi Networks - LG Optimus Black User Manual

5. Connecting to Wi-Fi
networks
To use Wi-Fi on your phone, you
need to access a wireless access
point or "hotspot." Some access
points are open and you can simply
connect to them. Others are hidden
or implement other security features,
so you must configure your phone to
connect to them.
Turn off Wi-Fi when you're not using
it to extend the life of your battery.
To turn Wi-Fi on and connect to a
Wi-Fi network:
On the home screen, touch
1
Applications tab and select
Settings > Wireless & networks
> Wi-Fi settings.
Touch Wi-Fi to turn it on and
2
begin scanning for available Wi-Fi
networks.

or other credentials. (Ask your
network administrator for details.)
