Wireless LAN

Your device can detect and connect to
wireless local area networks (WLAN).
Using a WLAN, you can connect your
device to the internet and compatible
devices that have WLAN support.
About WLAN
To use a wireless local area network
(WLAN) connection, it must be available in
the location, and your device must be
connected to the WLAN. Some WLANs are
protected, and you need an access key
from the service provider to connect to
them.
Note: In France, you are only
allowed to use WLAN indoors.
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
connection. Using encryption reduces the
risk of unauthorised access to your data.
WLAN connections
To use a wireless LAN (WLAN) connection,
you must create an internet access point
(IAP) for WLAN. Use the access point for
applications that need to connect to the
internet.
A WLAN connection is established when
you create a data connection using a
WLAN internet access point. The active
WLAN connection ends when you end the
data connection.
