About WLAN
To use a Wi-Fi connection, it must be
available in the location, and your device
must be connected to Wi-Fi. Some WLANs
are protected, and you need an access key
from the service provider to connect to
them.
Using Wi-Fi may be restricted in some
countries. For example, in France, you are
only allowed to use Wi-Fi indoors. For
more information, contact your local
authorities.
Features that use WLAN, or that are
allowed to run in the background while
using other features, increase the demand
on battery power and reduce the battery
life.
Important: Always enable one of the
available encryption methods to increase
the security of your wireless LAN
