CONNECTING TO THE WIFI NETWORK

www

For this procedure to work, you need to be in a WiFi zone that will allow you to connect to it. Every time the

ARNOVA is in range of a network that you have already configured once, it will attempt to make a connection.

How to congure a WiFi network

From the status bar, at the bottom right hand of the screen, you can access the WiFi

settings quickly.

1. Touch the time in the status bar. The status dashboard is displayed.

2. Touch the time in the status dashboard. The setting dashboard is displayed below.

3. Touch WiFi to open the WiFi settings.

4. If the WiFi is off, slide the WiFi switch to the On position.

Once the WiFi is on, the ARNOVA will scan for available WiFi networks.

Secured networks are indicated with a Lock icon. If the device finds a network that

you connected to previously, it connects to it.

5. Touch the network you want to connect to.

6. Enter the required network information* and touch Connect.

We recommend that you select Show password in order to be able to see the

characters you are typing.

Your ARNOVA will attempt to establish a connection to that WiFi access point.

* For free access WiFi points, there is no need to enter

any special information. For secured networks, you will

need a key (a series of numbers and/or letters) of the type

WEP, WPA, or WPA2. To obtain the exact connection

parameters required, contact the Internet service provider.
