Features using wireless LAN, or allowing such features 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 wireless LAN features:
• IEEE 802.11b/g standard
• Operation at a frequency of 2.4 GHz
• Encryption methods wired equivalent privacy (WEP) 
with keys up to 128 bits, Wi-Fi protected access (WPA), 
and 802.1x. These functions can be used only if they are 
supported by the network.
You can create an internet access point (IAP) in a wireless 
LAN, and use it for applications that need to connect to the 
internet.

settings. To view or change these settings, see ‘Access

A wireless LAN connection is established when you create 
a data connection using a wireless LAN internet access 
point. The active wireless LAN connection ends when you 
end the data connection. To end the connection, see 
‘Connection manager’, p. 93.
You can use wireless LAN during a voice call or when 
packet data is active. You can only be connected to one 
wireless LAN access point device at a time, but several 
applications can use the same wireless LAN connection.
When you activate the 
Offline
 profile, you can still use 
wireless LAN (if available). Remember to comply with any 
applicable safety requirements when establishing and 
using a wireless LAN connection.
There are two operating modes in wireless LAN: 
infrastructure and ad hoc.
In the infrastructure operating mode, your device is 
connected to a wireless LAN access point device. Through 
the access point device, you can access other compatible 
devices or a wired LAN.
In the ad hoc operating mode, compatible devices can 
send and receive data directly with each other. To create 
an internet access point for the ad hoc network, see 
‘Access points’, p. 105.
 Tip! To check the unique Media Access Control (MAC) 
address that identifies your device, enter 
*#62209526# in the standby mode.
