About WLAN

To use a wireless LAN (WLAN) connection, it must be available

in the location, and your device must be connected to the

WLAN. Some WLANs are protected, and you need an access

key from the service provider to connect to them.

Note: Using WLAN may be restricted in some countries.

For example, in France, you are only allowed to use WLAN

indoors. For more information, contact your local authorities.
Features that use WLAN, or that are allowed to run in the

background while using other features, increase the demand

on battery power and reduce the battery life.
Your device supports the following WLAN features:
● IEEE 802.11b/g and WAPI standards
● Operation at 2.4 GHz
● Wired equivalent privacy (WEP) with keys up to 128 bits,

Wi-Fi protected access (WPA), and 802.1x authentication

methods. These functions can be used only if they are

supported by the network.

Important: Always enable one of the available

encryption methods to increase the security of your wireless
