How to make a WPA connection using Symbol Fusion Radio

The Fusion wi-fi can be set to work with WPA secured wi-fi hotspots, such as those found in most homes and many businesses.

Here is what you need to do:

Tap the Start button, scroll down to Wireless Companion icon, and tap it:


Tap "Wireless Launch":


From the menu that pops up, tap "Find WLANS":


From the list of wi-fi hotspots, select the one you want to connect to. Tap and HOLD until you see a menu

Note the "Connect to" menu option is disabled. This is because you must set up a profile. Once this is done, you can connect at will in the future:


Tap NEXT button for Profile Name screen:


Tap NEXT button for Operating Mode screen:


Select security mode, "WPA Personal" in this example. Tap NEXT button:


Tap Pass-Phrase radio button:


Enter the password and confirm it:


Tap NEXT button on IPv4 Address Type:


Tap SAVE button on Battery Usage Mode screen:


Now, to make the connection, tap and HOLD on the profile, then tap CONNECT button in the pop up menu:


The only thing moving on the screen are the radio icons near the top:


To see the status, click START, go back to Wireless Launch icon, choose Wireless Status


Choose Signal Strength:


You should see a screen like this:


Choose IPv4 Status:


It should look like this. IP addresses should not be zeros. This means you have an Internet connection:


Test the connection by going into Pocket IE and bringing up a web paged not previously cached (viewed) or REFRESH a viewed web page.

If IE says it cannot make a connection, choose Settings, then set it to "My Work Network", and IE should then work fine.
