You can use Location Profile Settings to create profiles for accessing the Internet with your Tablet-PC in your office, home, or other public places with Internet services. General Mobility Settings allows you to change the way network connections are handled. The profiles consist of different network settings and equipment that you need when using your Tablet-PC in different locations.

Dell Wi-Fi Catcher™ Network Locator

The wireless switch on your Dell Tablet-PC uses the Dell Wi-Fi Catcher Network Locator to scan specifically for WiFi WLAN in your vicinity.

To scan for WiFi WLAN, slide and hold the switch in the "momentary" position for a few seconds. The Wi-Fi Catcher Network Locator functions regardless of whether your Tablet-PC is turned on or off, in hibernate, sleep, or standby mode, as long as the switch is configured through Dell QuickSet or the BIOS (system setup program) to control WiFi network connections.

NOTE: The Dell Wi-Fi Catcher Network Locator light appears only when the computer is turned off and wireless networking is activated in the system setup program. While working in a Microsoft Windows operating system, the light is designed not to appear.

Because the Wi-Fi Catcher Network Locator is disabled and not configured for use when your Tablet-PC is shipped to you, you must first use Dell QuickSet to enable and configure the switch to control WiFi network connections.

For more information on the Wi-Fi Catcher Network Locator and to enable the feature through Dell QuickSet, right-click the QuickSet icon in the taskbar and select Help.

Microsoft®Windows® Firewall
