Enabling wireless connection

To confirm that Airplane mode is disabled, go to the desktop and check the notification area.

If you see the

icon displayed on the lower right, then Airplane mode is on.

Otherwise, wireless function is enabled.

If Airplane mode is on, do one of the following to enable the wireless function:
• Press Fn + Backspace to disable Airplane mode (located on the keyboard dock).

• Open the charms, select Settings

to open the Network configuration page, and

then toggle the Airplane mode switch to Off.

Connecting to a wireless network

After wireless has been enabled, the computer will scan for available wireless networks and
display them in the wireless network list. To connect to a wireless network, click the network
name in the list, and then click Connect.

Note: Airplane mode is disabled by default.

Note: Some networks require a network security key or passphrase for connection. To connect to one of

those networks, ask the network administrator or the Internet Service Provider (ISP) for the
security key or passphrase.
