Making Wireless Bluetooth Connections (select models only)

Making Wireless Bluetooth Connections (select models only)

 

 

If your notebook includes Bluetooth wireless capabilities, you can use it to make

 

 

short-range radio connections to a wireless personal area network (PAN) and access

 

 

other Bluetooth-compatible devices, such as other notebooks, cell phones, and

 

 

printers.

 

 

Since the Bluetooth function connects your notebook by radio rather than through

 

 

cables, you can move around and remain connected, and you can detect new

 

 

Bluetooth devices automatically when they enter your area.

 

 

 

 

 

To turn Bluetooth communication on and off

 

 

 

Important

Wireless communication may be restricted in some situations or environments,

 

 

such as when traveling in an airplane. If in doubt, be sure to ask for

 

 

authorization before turning on your notebook wireless networking.

 

 

In Italy, Singapore, and possibly other countries, you may be required to

 

 

purchase a license from the responsible authority before using the wireless

 

 

function.

 

 

Turning on Bluetooth communication

 

 

 

 

The wireless indicator light on the front of the notebook turns on when Bluetooth or

802.11communication is turned on, but it doesn’t show whether Bluetooth, 802.11, or both functions are active. You must use the Wireless Configuration software to control the individual wireless functions.

1.If your notebook is not on, turn it on.

2.If you normally press the wireless on-off button on the front of the notebook to turn Bluetooth communication on and off, press the button so the indicator light turns on. This restores your previous wireless configuration.

–or–

If the Wireless Configuration icon is present in the taskbar, select the icon, then select the Bluetooth button to turn on Bluetooth communication.
