To save battery power while connected to a wireless network
Using Wi-Fi quickly consumes battery power. Turn off Wi-Fi when not in use.
You can also enable power saving settings.
1. Tap Start > Settings > Connections
tab > Wireless LAN.
2. On the Power Mode tab, move the
Power Save Mode slider to a position
that optimizes performance with the
least power consumption.
For example, move the slider to
the left (Best Performance) to
have the optimal wireless network
performance; move to the right (Best
Battery) to obtain the maximum
battery usage.
10.5 GPRS/3G
Use GPRS/3G (or EDGE, if available) to connect to the Internet and to send
and receive picture messages on your device. You will need a data plan
to use your wireless service provider’s GPRS/3G network. Check with your
wireless service provider to find out about GPRS/3G rates.
GPRS/3G settings are already preconfigured on your device, and your device
is ready to use your wireless service provider’s GPRS/3G services. Do not
change the settings as this may cause services to stop working.
To add a new GPRS/3G connection
In times when you need to add another GPRS/3G connection on your
device, obtain the Access point name from your wireless service provider.
Also, check if a user name and password are required.
1. Tap Start > Settings > Connections tab > Connections.
2. Under My ISP, tap Add a new modem connection.
3. On the Make New Connection screen, enter a name for the
connection.
