Step 1Ensure the Wi-Fi and Low Power button located on the top of the device is not in the Off position. This will completely shut off your Wi-Fi adaptor and prevent you from connecting to the network.

Step 2Press the power button on the left side of the device and allow the Pandigital Novel to detect local network connections. If you can't find a local connection, you may be out of range and should move closer to the wireless router until the device detects the network.

Step 3Tap the name of the Wi-Fi network from the provided connection list. If the network has a lock icon next to the name, this means you will need the network security password to log in.

Step 4Enter the security password if prompted, and then tap "Connect."
