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 LAN connection. Using encryption reduces the

risk of unauthorised access to your data.
