network infrastructure from a specific location such as a home or an office. By switching between location

no need to reconfigure your settings manually and restart the tablet each time.

To add a network profile, do the following:

1. From the Start menu, tap Lenovo Settings.

2. Tap Location Awareness.

3. Follow the instructions on the screen to add a network profile.
