Most PDAs, Laptops, and Tablet PCs come standard with WiFi radios that allow these devices to connect wirelessly to the Internet. The popularity of Wi-Fi networks have increased and your chances of visiting a hotspot increase everyday.

When you visit a hotspot and your Wi-Fi radio is enabled, your device will notify you twice of each wireless network it discovers. The first notification informs you of the availability of the discovered wireless network and the second notification informs you when you have traveled outside the range of this same wireless network.

If you are traveling in your aircraft with your Wi-Fi radio enabled, you could easily pass over hundreds of wireless networks in very short period of time. In essence you would receive an exorbitant amount of notifications informing you of available and out of range wireless networks. For this reason, we highly recommend disabling your Wi-Fi wireless radio before every flight.

On Your Motion Tablet:

1) On the Windows Desktop, double click on the icon labeled “Motion Dashboard”

2) Click on the “Wireless” icon placed on the left side of the window

3) Ensure the top check box “Enable Internal 802.11 Wireless Radio” is unchecked

If you don’t use the Wi-Fi feature in your motion tablet, you can also check the 2^nd check box “Disable 802.11 Wireless Radio on Startup”. This option ensures the Wi-Fi options stays off when you reboot your tablet PC.

With the wireless radio off or disabled, the Motion Tablet should no longer prompt you about wireless networks.
