108 Getting Connected
Notes
• Wi-Fi connects to the default network that is available on your phone.
However, GPRS starts by default if your phone does not detect any Wi-Fi
signal.
• In Comm Manager, click Settings > WLAN Settings > Connection Status
to check the current connection status and signal quality of each Wi-Fi
channel.
• Configure your phone so that the Wi-Fi function turns off automatically
when no signal is detected to conserve battery power. In Comm Manager,
click Settings > WLAN Settings > Wi-Fi > Menu > Wi-Fi Settings.
