Important

Wireless networks and cellular modems are examples of devices that use

 

wireless communication. Such devices 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 before using the wireless function.

 

Turning on communication and making a connection

 

 

If your notebook has both wireless 802.11 and Bluetooth capabilities, the wireless

 

indicator light on the front of the notebook turns on when Bluetooth or 802.11

 

communication is turned on, but it does not 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 the 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 wireless 802.11 communication on and off, press the button so the indicator light turns on. This restores your previous wireless configuration.
