Operating Basics
Bluetooth wireless technology
Bluetooth wireless technology eliminates the need for cables, such as
desktop computers, between your PC and other electronic devices,
example of printers and mobile phones.
You cannot use the computer's built-in Bluetooth functions and an external
Bluetooth adaptor simultaneously. For reference, Bluetooth wireless
technology has the following features:
Worldwide operation
The Bluetooth radio transmitter and receiver operate in the 2.4GHz band,
which is license-free and compatible with radio systems in most countries
in the world.
Radio links
You can easily establish links between two or more devices, with these
links being maintained even if the devices are not within a line-of-sight of
each other.
Security
Two advanced security mechanisms ensure a high level of security:
■ Authentication prevents access to critical data and makes it impossible
to falsify the origin of a message.
■ Encryption prevents eavesdropping and maintains link privacy.
Enable/Disable Wireless communication
You can enable or disable Wireless communication functions by pressing
FN + F8. No transmissions are sent or received when wireless
communication is turned off.
If you used the Taskbar to disable the wireless LAN, restart the computer or
perform the following procedure to re-enable it: Start  Control Panel 
System and Security  System  Device Manager  Network
adapters and right click the wireless device then choose enable.
