Section 6: Connections
This section describes the various connections your device
can make, including accessing the Internet with your Wi-Fi,
Bluetooth, and Connecting to your PC.
Wi-Fi

access to local area networks. Use your device’s Wi-Fi
feature to:

Access the Internet for browsing or to send and receive email.

Access your corporate network.

Use hotspots provided by hotels or airports while traveling.
Wi-Fi communication requires access to an existing Wireless
Access Point (WAP). WAPs can be Open (unsecured, as with
most hotspots) or Secured (requiring you to provide login
credentials). Your device supports the 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi
protocol.

available networks. For more information, refer to
“Configuring Wi-Fi Settings” on page 80.
