# Turning On/Off the Wi-Fi Function

To download apps or enjoy Internet content, connect the tablet to a Wi-Fi network (access point). To set the Wi-Fi connection, turn on the Wi-Fi function of the tablet.

## To turn on the Wi-Fi function

1. Tap [ Apps & Widgets] - [ Settings] - [Wi-Fi].

1. Set [Wi-Fi] to [ON].

Note

- The Wi-Fi antenna is built in to your tablet. If you cover the antenna with your hands or other objects while connected to the Internet using the Wi-Fi function, the communications quality may deteriorate.

## To turn off the Wi-Fi function

When you are not using Internet, you can save power by turning off the Wi-Fi function.

1. Tap [ Apps & Widgets] - [ Settings] - [Wi-Fi].

1. Set [Wi-Fi] to [OFF].

Hint

- To disconnect the Wi-Fi function temporarily in an area where Wi-Fi communications is restricted, turn on [Airplane mode] on the control panel displayed from the status bar.

- The screen of your tablet will be off when apps are running, such as when the music player app is playing back content, but the tablet will still be operating. You can choose whether to keep the Wi-Fi connection active or not when the screen is off.

Tap (Option menu) - [Advanced] - [Wi-Fi disconnect policy], and then select the desired item on the [Wi-Fi disconnect policy] screen.

Note

- Regardless of the setting in [Wi-Fi disconnect policy], the Wi-Fi connection is disconnected if no app is running during sleep mode. The Internet connection will initially be off when the screen turns on after being off (deactivating sleep mode), but the tablet will then connect to the Internet automatically.
