wireless chip reader & iPad3

Our wireless chip reader will not work off-line.  Have we missed something?  The battery is charged and bluetooth is on.  It works fine at home where we have wireless.  Often when we use the square wi-fi is not available.  Solutions????

The Bluetooth is only the connection between your wireless chip reader and your iPad, you will need connection either Wi-Fi or cellular to connect to square from your iPad in order to complete the process.
