Powering WLAN On or Off
To use WLAN on your Pocket PC, you need to turn on WLAN
and set up your device.
To turn WLAN on or off:
1. From the Start menu, tap iPAQ Wireless > WLAN icon
().
If WLAN is powered on, the WLAN icon on the iPAQ
Wireless screen will turn from grayed out to amber to green
(amber indicates WLAN is on but not connected, and green
indicates WLAN is on) and the Wireless LAN indicator,
located to the left of the power button, will blink green to
indicate WLAN is on.
Shortcut: From the Today screen, tap the Connections icon
( or ), then tap Turn Flight Mode On to turn off
WLAN, or Turn Flight Mode Off to turn on WLAN.
NOTE: Even though the indicator flashes to indicate WLAN is
turned on, it does not necessarily mean a connection has been
established with another device or access point.
Battery Saving Tip: Turn WLAN off when you are not
using it. When WLAN is on, be sure one of the WLAN
power saving modes is selected. Refer to the section on
“Changing the Wireless LAN Power Saving Modes” in
Chapter 10, “Managing the Battery” for more information.
