Wireless LAN
Q: Why can't I see a wireless LAN (WLAN) access point even 
though I know I'm within its range?
A: The WLAN access point may use a hidden service set 
identifier (SSID). You can only access networks that use a 
hidden SSID if you know the correct SSID and have created 
a WLAN IAP for the network on your Nokia device.
Q: How do I switch wireless LAN (WLAN) off on my Nokia 
device?
A: You cannot switch off WLAN on your Nokia device. To 
reduce battery consumption, you can specify that your 
Nokia device does not scan for available networks.
To turn off the background scan:
1
Press 
, and select 
Tools
Settings
 > 
Connection
 > 
Wireless LAN
.
2
Select 
Scan for networks
 > 
Never
.
3
To save your changes, select 
Done
.
When 
Scan for networks
 is set to 
Never
, your Nokia device 
still listens to available networks, and you can use available 
WLAN networks as usual.
