Enabling wireless connection

If you see the icon displayed on the lower right, then Airplane mode is on. Otherwise, wireless function is enabled.

Note: Airplane mode should be disabled by default.

If Airplane mode is on, do one of the following to enable the wireless function:

•Press F7 to disable Airplane mode.

•Open the Charms and select Settings → to open the Network configuration page,

and then toggle the Airplane mode switch to Off.

Connecting to a wireless LAN

After wireless has been enabled, the computer will automatically scan for available wireless networks and display them in the wireless LAN network list. To connect to a wireless network, click the network name in the list and then click Connect.

Note: Some networks require a network security key or passphrase for connection. To connect to one of those networks, ask the network administrator or the Internet service provider (ISP) for the security key or passphrase.
