Connecting to a Wi-Fi Network
When Wi-Fi networking is turned on, the Wireless settings page displays a list of the Wi-Fi networks it detects. The
list includes the name of the network and a wireless connection icon (a stack of curved lines). The darker the lines in
the wireless connection icon, the stronger the network signal is for that network.
If a lock symbol indicates that a network is secured with a password. To connect to a secured network, you will need
to enter the network’s password. If you do not know the network’s password, ask the network administrator.
To connect to a network, do this:
1. Tap on the network’s name.
If the network is secured, a dialog box appears, asking for a Wireless password. Tap in the password box, then
use the keyboard that appears at the bottom of the screen to enter the network’s password. Then tap Connect.
