An overview of using the Internet

Using Wireless LAN connectivity

Wireless connectivity and some features may require you to
purchase additional software, external hardware or services.
Availability of public wireless LAN access points may be limited.

Your system may come with an optional wireless LAN module.
This is a technology that expands wireless communication beyond
networking equipment, and can connect many different kinds of
electronic devices without the need for cables.

For information on how to set up a wireless connection, refer to
your wireless networking device documentation or your network
administrator.

To use your wireless communication, slide the wireless on/off
switch to the On position.
