Troubleshooting

Unable to establish connection with the phone

  • The wireless network may not be in range or has too of a weak signal to provide a successful connection. Check the signal bar to ensure you have strong connection.
  • Re-enter the key on the phone to match the key configured on the router. Make sure that the encryption type and security settings match on the router and phone.
  • If WEP encryption is in use, check that the key configured on the router matches the key entered on the phone.
  • The wireless network you're attempting to connect to may be configured for static IP addresses only. Check with the system administrator for an IP address assignment.
  • Unplug the power from your router, turn the phone off. Plug back in your router first, then wait for 1 minute and then turn on your phone.
  • Check if you are able to connect your phone via Bluetooth. If also unable to connect via Bluetooth contact Motorola for repair options.

Can't connect to Internet

  • Try a different URL or web site address.
  • Disconnect and try connecting to the network again.
  • Enter correct Password (WEP-WAP/WPA key).
  • If connected via a commercial Wi-Fi hotspot, such as the ones at Borders or Starbucks, we recommend renewing the hotspot's DHCP lease.
  • Unplug the power from your router, turn the phone off. Plug back in your router first, then wait for 1 minute and then turn on your phone.
