Connecting to a WLAN
To connect to the WLAN, follow these steps:
1. Be sure that the WLAN device is on.
2. From the Windows desktop, tap the network status icon in the notification area, at the far right of
the taskbar.
3. Select your WLAN from the list.
4. Tap Connect.
If the WLAN is a security-enabled WLAN, you are prompted to enter a security code. Type the
code, and then tap OK to complete the connection.
NOTE: If no WLANs are listed, you may be out of range of a wireless router or access point.
NOTE: If you do not see the WLAN you want to connect to, from the Windows desktop, tap
and hold the network status icon, and then select Open Network and Sharing Center. Tap Set up
a new connection or network. A list of options is displayed, allowing you to manually search for
and connect to a network or to create a new network connection.
5. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the connection.
After the connection is made, point over the network status icon in the notification area, at the far right
of the taskbar, to verify the name and status of the connection.
NOTE: The functional range (how far your wireless signals travel) depends on WLAN
implementation, router manufacturer, and interference from other electronic devices or structural
barriers such as walls and floors.
Using Bluetooth wireless devices
A Bluetooth device provides short-range wireless communications that replace the physical cable
connections that traditionally link electronic devices such as the following:
● Computers (desktop, notebook, PDA)
● Phones (cellular, cordless, smart phone)
● Imaging devices (printer, camera)
● Audio devices (headset, speakers)
● Mouse
Bluetooth devices provide peer-to-peer capability that allows you to set up a PAN of Bluetooth
devices. For information about configuring and using Bluetooth devices, see the Bluetooth software
Help.
