Using the wireless controls
You can control the wireless devices in your computer using these features:
● The f12 wireless action key
● HP Connection Manager software (select models only)
● Wireless Assistant software (select models only)
● Operating system controls
Using the wireless action key
The computer has a wireless action key ( f12 ), one or more wireless devices, and one wireless light.
All of the wireless devices on your computer are enabled at the factory.
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 off, all wireless devices are off.
Because the wireless devices are enabled at the factory, you can use the wireless action key ( f12 ) to
turn on or turn off all of the wireless devices simultaneously.
Using HP Connection Manager (select models only)
You can use HP Connection Manager to connect to WWANs using the HP Mobile Broadband device
in your computer (select models only).

far right of the taskbar.
