Wireless LAN
Your device supports wireless local area network (wireless 
LAN). With wireless LAN, you can connect your device to 
the internet and compatible devices that have wireless 
LAN. For information about using your device with other 
compatible UPnP devices through wireless LAN, see ‘Home 
network with Gallery’, p. 51 and ‘Home network with 
music player’, p. 21.
To use wireless LAN, a wireless LAN must be available in 
the location and your device must be connected to the 
wireless LAN.
Some places, like France, have restrictions on the use of 
wireless LAN. Check with your local authorities for more 
information.
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
•
Wired equivalent privacy (WEP) with keys up to 
128 bits, Wi-Fi protected access (WPA), and 802.1x 
encryption methods. These functions can be used only 
if they are supported by the network.
Wireless LAN connections
To use wireless LAN, you must create an internet access 
point (IAP) in a wireless LAN. Use the access point for 
applications that need to connect to the internet. See 
‘Wireless LAN access points’, p. 71.
 Important: Always enable one of the available 
encryption methods to increase the security of your 
wireless LAN connection. Using encryption reduces the risk 
of unauthorized access to your data. 
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 
close the last application using the connection. To end all 
the connections simultaneously, see ‘Connection 
manager’, p. 75.
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 internet access point.
