You don't have to pay for GW Micro's service but you *do* have to pay for
some wi-fi services.

Hi Mike,
I may have a copy of the full manual if it's on the Cd's that came with
the BSP when I purchased it. If not, then no. Thanks for advising me to
go to the GW Micro web site to either try download the manual or to look
at the knowledge based articles. I also didn't know that you had to pay
for the service. So thanks for letting me know about that.

Sarah:
Do you have a copy of the manual (as opposed to the Quick Start Guide)?
You
can find one on the GW Micro site. I'd advise reading it. The process for
turning on and using wi-fi is fairly simple but is harder to explain than
to
do. Moreover, you may (in fact probably will) find that in many
instances,
you have to pay for the wi-fi access which means going thru a web site
and
procedure and this varies by wi-fi provider. But a summary might go like
this:
(1(Hit Backspace-dots-1-5-6 to turn wi-fi on;
(2) Go to Utilities, then to Internet.
(3) Arrow down to "Wireless" and hit ENTER;
(4) If you get a connection, you'll see a list of wi-fi connections
together
with their signal strengths. Hit ENTER on the one you wish to connect to.
At
this point, you may have to tab thru the buttons to the ADvanced one to
set
some connection parameters, especially if you have an encrypted
connection
(unlikely in open areas);
(5) If you get a "connected" message, bring up a web page to see if you
are
directed to the wi-fi provider's web page to accept any usage agreement
and/or pay for yur connection, asuming the page is accessible;
(6) Go ahead and surf the Net or handle email, assuming you have the
email
program configured for your normal email provider and that it accepts
POP3
connections. Setting this up is a a separate process.
I also urge you to go to the GW Micro web site and look at the Knowledge
Base articles; many of these subjects are covered in them. This is just
an
outline.
