point to connect your phone to the wireless network.
For detailed instructions on using Wi-Fi, refer to “6.1.2 Wi-Fi”.

Bluetooth  allows  your  phone  to  exchange  data  (videos,  images,  music,  etc.)  within  a  small  range  with 
another Bluetooth supported device (phone, computer, printer, headset, car kit, etc.).
For more information on Bluetooth, refer to “6.3 Connecting to Bluetooth devices”.
11.1.3 Data usage
Cellular data
If you do not need to transmit data on all mobile networks, turn off  Cellular data to avoid incurring

mobile data agreement.

network  resources  and  software  applications  on  their  home  network,  when  they  connect  via  other 
wireless  or  wired  networks.  Mobile VPNs  are  used  in  environments  where  workers  need  to  keep 
application  sessions  open  at  all  times,  throughout  the  working  day,  as  the  user  connects  via  various 
wireless  networks,  encounters  gaps  in  coverage,  or  suspends-and-resumes  their  devices  to  preserve 
battery  life. A  conventional VPN  cant  survive  such  events  because  the  network  tunnel  is  disrupted,

For more information on VPN, refer to “6.6 Connecting to virtual private networks”.
