Using the wireless controls
You can control the wireless devices in your computer using these features:
●
Wireless action key
●
HP Wireless Assistant software
●
Operating system controls
Using the wireless action key
The computer has a wireless action key, one or more wireless devices, and a wireless light. All of the
wireless devices on your computer are enabled at the factory, so the wireless light is 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 action key to turn on
or turn off the wireless devices simultaneously. Individual wireless devices can be controlled through
HP Wireless Assistant software.
Using HP Wireless Assistant software
A wireless device can be turned on or off using HP Wireless Assistant software. If a wireless device is
disabled in Setup Utility, it must be reenabled in Setup Utility before it can be turned on or off using
Wireless Assistant.
NOTE: Enabling or turning on a wireless device does not automatically connect the computer to a
network or a Bluetooth-enabled device.
