Using a Wi-Fi Dongle

Using a Wi-Fi Dongle

1. Connect the phone to power and insert the WF40* or WF50** WiFi dongle in the phone's USB port. 



2. Once booted, the below screen will likely appear. Press the 'Cancel' softkey.



3. Once back on the Home screen press the 'Menu' softkey. In the menu select 'Settings', 'Basic Settings', then 'Wi-Fi'.







4. Turn Wi-Fi On if it isn't already by pressing the right or left arrow key, then clicking the 'Save' softkey.



5. To connect to a Wi-Fi network after Wi-Fi has been enabled scroll down and select 'Available Network(s)' from that same Wi-Fi menu.



6. Scroll to the name of the desired Wi-Fi network and press the 'Connect' softkey.



7. Enter the Wi-Fi password using the number pad on the phone. Pressing the second softkey from the left will change the input method so that the number keys result in different inputs. The different input methods are described below. The screen will also show a list of characters that can be entered by a key on each keypress. Symbols are entered using the star key.
 Number keys will only enter numbers.

 Number keys result in lower case letters. Ex. Number 2 results in 'a' after one press, 'b' after two presses, 'c' after three presses.

 Number keys result in upper case letters. Ex. Number 2 results in 'A' after one press, 'B' after two presses, 'C' after three presses.

 Number keys result in a mixture of characters. Ex. Number 2 results in '2' after one press, 'a', 'b', 'c' after two, three, and four presses, and 'A', 'B', and 'C' after five, six, and seven presses.

8. Press the 'OK' softkey when finished entering the password and the phone will attempt to connect to the Wi-Fi network.



9. If successful the phone will return to the Available Networks screen and show a check mark beside the Wi-Fi network it is connected to. If it did not successfully connect an error will appear saying 'Connect Failed' and the phone will return to the Available Networks screen. 



10. Return to the Home screen and the phone should either register to the account or update the configuration. The Wi-Fi icon below indicates an active connection to a Wi-Fi network.
