WELCOME HOME TO MOTOROLA ANDROID
Switching from an Apple or Blackberry phone? Get all
your important information set up on your new Motorola

Home: Motorola Android app on your Motorola
smartphone, connect the smartphone to your computer

Wi-Fi connect
If you want to use a Wi-Fi network for even faster
Internet access, touch the status bar at the top of the
home screen and drag it down. Touch the Wi-Fi
networks available notification to select a preferred
network.
> Settings > Wireless &

networks > Wi-Fi settings to search for and connect to
wireless networks. There’s more in “Wi-Fi networks” on
page 42.
Wi-Fi enhanced connectivity
Wi-Fi Enhanced Connectivity offers a seamless
transition between connections when you switch from
the Verizon network to a Wi-Fi network.
When you launch an Internet-capable app like the
browser, your smartphone scans for available Wi-Fi
networks even when Wi-Fi is turned off, and prompts
you to connect to an available Wi-Fi network. If you have
a usage-based data plan, you can save on your
subscribed monthly data allowance by using a Wi-Fi
connection rather than the Verizon network.
Cool content & more
Browse and download thousands of the coolest apps on
the planet from Android Market™.
Download new apps with “Browse & install apps” on
page 11. You can install a microSD memory card in your
smartphone, and load it up with photos, videos, and
