Adding a Wi-Fi network
You can add a Wi-Fi network so the tablet will remember it, along with any
security credentials, and connect to it automatically when it is in range. You
must also add a Wi-Fi network to connect to it, if it does not broadcast its
name (SSID), or to add a Wi-Fi network when you are out of range.
To join a secured network, you need to contact the network’s administrator
to learn what security scheme is deployed on it and to obtain the password
or other required security credentials.
1. Turn on Wi-Fi if it is not already on.
2. In the
Wi-Fi settings
screen, tap
Add Wi-Fi network
.
3. Enter the Network SSID (name). If the network is secured, tap the
Security
menu and then tap the type of security deployed on the
network.
4. Enter any required security credentials.
5. Tap
Save
.
The tablet will connect to the wireless network. Any credentials that you
enter will be saved, so you can connect automatically the next time you
come within range of this network.
Forgetting a Wi-Fi network
You can make your tablet forget about the details of a Wi-Fi network that
you added. For example, if you don’t want the tablet to connect to it
automatically or if it is a network that you no longer use.
1. Turn on Wi-Fi if it’s not already on.
2. In the
Wi-Fi settings
screen, tap the name of the connected network.
3. Tap
Forget
in the dialog that opens.
Connecting to Bluetooth devices
Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications technology that
devices can use to exchange information over a distance of about 8
meters. The most common Bluetooth devices are headphones for making
calls or listening to music, hands-free kits for cars, and other portable
devices, including cell phones.
To connect to a Bluetooth device, you must turn on your tablet’s Bluetooth
radio. The first time you use a new device with the TOSHIBA AT100 Tablet,
you must “pair” them so that they know how to connect securely to each
other. After that, you can simply connect to a paired device.
Turn off Bluetooth when you’re not using it, to extend the life of your battery
between charges. You may also be required to turn Bluetooth off in some
locations. Bluetooth is turned off in Airplane mode.
Turning Bluetooth on or off
1. Open the
Settings
screen.
2. Tap
