Operator selection  — Select 
Automatic
 to set the device to search for and select
one of the available networks, or

If the connection to the manually selected network is lost, the device sounds an error
tone and asks you to reselect a network. The selected network must have a roaming
agreement with your home network.
Cell info display  — Set the device to indicate when it is used in a cellular network
based on microcellular network (MCN) technology and to activate cell info reception.
Wireless LAN 
Your device can detect and connect to wireless local area networks (WLAN). Using a
WLAN, you can connect your device to the internet and compatible devices that have
WLAN support.
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: Use encryption to increase the security of your WLAN connection.
Using encryption reduces the risk of others accessing 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.
