Ways of Connecting to the Internet
Your device’s networking capabilities allow you to wirelessly access the Internet or your corporate network
through one of the following connections:
䢇 Wi-Fi (See “Connecting Using Wi-Fi” for details.)
䢇 Sprint 4G (See “Connecting Using Sprint 4G” for details.)
䢇 Data Services (See “Getting Started With Data Services” for details.)
䢇 Virtual Private Networks or VPN (See “Connecting to a Virtual Private Network (VPN)” for details.)
Connecting Using Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi provides wireless Internet access over distances of up to 300 feet. To use your device’s Wi-Fi, you need
access to a wireless access point or “hotspot”.
Note: The availability and range of the Wi-Fi signal depends on the number, infrastructure, and other objects through
which the signal passes.

page that is completely open). In either state, you can receive incoming calls.
Your device is on and is connected to the Sprint 1xRTT data network. When the arrows are white, your device is
transferring data (for example, when you are opening a Web page) and you cannot receive calls. When the arrows
are gray, your device is connected to the network but is not currently transferring data (for example, when you are
viewing a Web page that is completely open), and you can receive calls.
If you do not see an indicator, your device does not have a current data connection. To launch a connection,
