	To turn wireless communication on and off
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 computer’s wireless networking.
	In Italy, Singapore, and possibly other countries, you are required to ask the responsible
	authority for a license paid for by you before using the wireless function.
