unauthorised access to your data.
WLAN connections
To use a wireless LAN (WLAN) connection, you must create an
internet access point (IAP) for WLAN. Use the access point for
applications that need to connect to the internet.
A WLAN connection is established when you create a data
connection using a WLAN internet access point. The active
WLAN connection ends when you end the data connection.
You can use WLAN during a voice call or when packet data is
active. You can only be connected to one WLAN access point
device at a time, but several applications can use the same
internet access point.
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, open the dialler
and enter *#62209526#.
