    The Kensington WiFi Finder is designed to sniff out Hot Spots at the same range as most Wireless Network Interface Cards (WNICs). If it lights up green, you know you can connect. The green LED indicators will come on for approximately two seconds, and then briey ick off. This tells you that the WiFi Finder is scanning again to check for weaker or stronger WiFi signals. If there is no WiFi Hot Spot available, the rst LED will quickly ash red every two seconds to let you know that it is on and scanning. When you press and release the button, your Kensington WiFi Finder will continue scanning for two minutes and then shut itself off. Depending on how often you use the WiFi Finder, the batteries can last well over a year. To replace the batteries, open the case and insert two type 2032 button cells in the mounting clip.

    Many electronic devices operate in the 2.4 GigaHertz (GHz) radio band. The Kensington WiFi Finder has been designed to light up only for 802.11b and 802.11g wireless network access points commonly known as WiFi Hot Spots.
    NOTE: As of this writing, the 802.11g standard had not been nalized. Nonetheless, some newer Hot Spots are already using 802.11g communications. Your Kensington WiFi Finder will detect these Hot Spots as they exist today.

    Keychain Ring Installation


    The Kensington WiFi Finder comes with a keychain ring that can be attached. Simply slide the keychain ring to the bottom of the WiFi Finder (where you see the loop). Now you can attach your keys or attach your WiFi Finder to your carrying case.
