Using the wireless controls
You can control the wireless devices in your computer using these features:
● Wireless key or wireless button (referred to in this guide as the wireless key)
● Wireless Assistant software (select models only)
● Operating system controls
Using the wireless key
The computer has a wireless key, one or more wireless devices, and one wireless light, All of the
wireless devices on your computer are enabled at the factory, so the wireless light is on (white) when
you turn on the computer.
The wireless light indicates the overall power state of your wireless devices, not the status of
individual devices. If the wireless light is white, at least one wireless device is on. If the wireless light
is amber, all wireless devices are off.
Because the wireless devices are enabled at the factory, you can use the wireless key to turn on or
turn off the wireless devices simultaneously. Individual wireless devices can be controlled through
Wireless Assistant software (select models only) or through Computer Setup.
NOTE: If the wireless devices are disabled by Computer Setup, the wireless key will not work until
you reenable your devices.
