Web and Data

This section addresses your phone's data connections and the built-in Web browser. Additional
data-related features can be found in
Tools and
Calendar.
Your phone's data capabilities let you wirelessly access the Internet or your corporate network
through a variety of connections, including:

Wi-Fi

Wi-Fi provides wireless Internet access over distances of up to 300 feet. To use your phone's
Wi-Fi, you need access to a wireless access point or "hotspot."
The availability and range of the Wi-Fi signal depends on a number of factors, including
infrastructure and other objects through which the signal passes.

Turn Wi-Fi On and Connect to a Wireless Network

By default, your phone's Wi-Fi feature is turned off. Turning Wi-Fi on makes your phone able to
discover and connect to compatible in-range Wi-Fi networks (or WAPs - wireless access points).
Turn Wi-Fi On
Press
>
Wi-Fi on.
Tip:
You can also turn Wi-Fi on and off through the Notifications panel. Drag the Notifications
panel down and tap Wi-Fi to enable or disable Wi-Fi.
Note: Wi-Fi networks are self-discoverable, which means no additional steps are required for
your phone to connect to a Wi-Fi network. It may be necessary to provide a user name
and password for certain closed wireless networks.
