Operating system controls

Using the wireless button

The computer has a wireless button, one or more wireless devices, and one or two wireless lights,
depending on the model. All of the wireless devices on your computer 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.

NOTE:

On some models, the wireless light is amber when all wireless devices are off.

Because the wireless devices are enabled at the factory, you can use the wireless button 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 button will not work

until you reenable your devices.
