Using built-in wireless connectivity (select models only)

With the built-in wireless connectivity of your Joybook Lite, you
can access other wireless network enabled devices (such as
Access Point network stations, Notebook computers, Personal
Digital Assistants, or digital projectors) wirelessly without the
constraints of network cables.
To connect with a Local Area Network (LAN) at home or in the
office, you need the details of an access point, which serves as an
air station to make transmission possible. Outdoors in places
such as in coffee shops or library, you can inquire the service
personnel about an account.
• Wireless LAN (WLAN) is available on select models.
• WLAN connectivity has limited range, depending upon the
equipment being used, the chosen frequency band, radio-
