Using the wireless controls

You can control the wireless devices in your computer using these features:

Wireless switch

Operating system controls

Using the wireless switch

The computer has a wireless switch, one or more wireless devices, and one wireless light. All of the
wireless devices on your device are enabled at the factory, so the wireless light is on (blue) 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 blue, 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 switch to turn on or
turn off all of the wireless devices simultaneously.

Using HP Connection Manager software (select models only)

Connection Manager allows you to manage your Internet profiles, SMS (Short Message Service)
