Disable WiFi on SX620

I need to use the camera in a secured environment where it is strictly prohibited to have any device with WiFi capabilities. How can I disable the WiFi functions from the Canon SX620?

I'm considering a Canon Powershot SX620 and had the same concern. Manual does not say how to TURN OFF the wifi.

Surely whatever you do the camera will always have Wifi capabilities. The Wifi will only be on when you activate it.

Just don't want the wifi radio in the camera to be constantly searching for networks, draining the battery.  Esp since I don't see us using the wifi very much, if at all.

On the G9X the Wifi signal ceases to show on the phone a short time after the disconnect. I have not come across a camera that permanently leaves the Wifi up if not connected.
