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)
● 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.
Using operating system controls
Some operating systems also offer a way to manage integrated wireless devices and the wireless
connection. For more information, refer to the operating system documentation.
