Connecting to networks and devices
Check Wi-Fi to turn it on.

The phone scans for available Wi-Fi networks and displays the names of those it
finds. Secured networks are indicated with a Lock icon.
If the phone finds a network that you connected to previously, it connects to it.
4
Touch a network to connect to it.
If the network is open, you are prompted to confirm that you want to connect to
that network by touching Connect.
If the network is secured, you're prompted to enter a password or other
credentials. (Ask your network administrator for details.)
When you're connected to a network, you can touch its name in the Wi-Fi settings
screen for details about the speed, security, address, and related settings.
To receive notifications when open networks are in range
By default, when Wi-Fi is on, you receive notifications in the Status bar when your
phone detects an open Wi-Fi network.

Turn on Wi-Fi, if it's not already on.
In the Wi-Fi settings screen, check Network notification.

You can uncheck this option to stop receiving notifications.
To add a Wi-Fi network
You can add a Wi-Fi network so the phone will remember it, along with any security
credentials, and connect to it automatically when it is in range. You must also add a
Wi-Fi network to connect to it, if it does not broadcast its name (SSID), or to add a Wi-
Fi network when you are out of range of it.
To join a secured network, you need to contact the network's administrator to learn
what security scheme is deployed on it and to obtain the password or other required
security credentials. For more information about installing secure certificates, see
"Working with secure certificates" on page 78.
1
Turn on Wi-Fi, if it's not already on.
If you're adding a Wi-Fi network when first setting up your phone, Wi-Fi is turned
on automatically.
In the Wi-Fi settings screen, touch Add Wi-Fi network (at the bottom of the list
2
of discovered networks).
