Connecting to networks
Receiving notifications when open networks are in range
By default, when Wi-Fi is turned on, you will receive notifications in the
Status bar when your device detects an open Wi-Fi network.
1. Turn on Wi-Fi if it is not already on.
2. In the Wi-Fi settings screen, check Network notification.
You can uncheck this option to stop receiving notifications.
Adding a Wi-Fi network
You can add a Wi-Fi network so the device will remember it, along with any
security credentials, and connect to it automatically when it is in range. You
must also add a Wi-Fi network to connect to it, if it does not broadcast its
name (SSID), or to add a Wi- Fi network when you are out of range.
To join a secured network, you need to contact the network’s administrator
to learn what security scheme is deployed on it and to obtain the password
or other required security credentials.
1. Turn on Wi-Fi if it is not already on.
2. In the Wi-Fi settings screen, check Add Wi-Fi network.
3. Enter the SSID (name) of the network. If the network is secured, click
the Security menu and then click the type of security deployed on the
network.
4. Enter any required security credentials.
5. Click Save.
The device will connect to the wireless network. Any credentials that
you enter will be saved, so you can connect automatically the next time
you come within range of this network.
Forgetting a Wi-Fi network
You can make your device forget about the details of a Wi-Fi network that
you added. For example, if you don’t want the device to connect to it
automatically or if it is a network that you no longer use.
1. Turn on Wi-Fi if it’s not already on.
2. In the Wi-Fi settings screen, click and hold the name of the connected
network.
3. Click Forget network in the dialog that opens.
Connecting to Bluetooth devices
Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications technology that
devices can use to exchange information over a distance of about 8
meters. The most common Bluetooth devices are headphones for making
calls or listening to music, hands-free kits for cars, and other portable
devices, including cell phones.
