WiFi connection
Your MC35 supports an optional WiFi hardware (IEEE 802.11b/g) you can use to scan
for existing wireless local area network (WLAN) access points or hot spots. WLAN
access points or hot spots can be found in homes and office or public areas such as
inside airports, restaurants, coffee shops, hotels, or other public areas. Just like in a
GPRS connection, a WiFi access allows you to connect to a computer, access the
Internet, and send/ receive e-mail and files.
NOTE:
WiFi access in some areas may require a separate purchase of a service
contract with a wireless service provider. Check with a WiFi service provider in your
area for more information.
