Automatically Connecting to a WLAN Network
When you connect to a WLAN network, your HP iPAQ automatically detects WLAN networks that are
broadcasting their signal. If your WLAN network isn't set to broadcast, then you must connect to it
manually. Before trying to connect to a WLAN network, determine if authentication information is needed
by contacting your network administrator.
