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 standard
• Operation at 2.4 GHz
• Wired equivalent privacy (WEP), Wi-Fi protected access (WPA/WPA2), 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 LAN connection. Using encryption reduces the risk of
unauthorised access to your data.
When the device is in the offline profile, you can still use WLAN, if available. Remember
to comply with any applicable safety requirements when establishing and using a WLAN
connection.
Tip: To check the unique media access control (MAC) address that identifies your device,
enter *#62209526# in the home screen.
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.
