Making Wireless Bluetooth Connections (selected models)
If your notebook includes Bluetooth wireless capabilities, you can use it to make short-
range radio connections to a wireless personal area network (WPAN), and access other
Bluetooth-compatible devices, such as other computers, cell phones, and printers.
The Bluetooth function provides all the functions of a typical “wired” network, but also
provides for “roaming.” Since your notebook connects to the network by radio rather than
through cables, you can move from place to place within the network—from your office
to a conference room, for example—and remain on the network the entire time.
To turn Bluetooth communication on and off
Important
Wireless communication may be restricted in some situations or environments, such as
when traveling in an airplane. If in doubt, be sure to ask for authorization before turning
on your notebook’s wireless networking.
In Italy, Singapore, and possibly other countries, you are required to purchase a license
from the responsible authority before using the wireless function.
Turning on communication and making a connection
1. If your notebook isn’t on, turn it on.
2. The wireless indicator light is lit whenever the wireless function is on. If the indicator
isn’t lit, press the wireless on-off button on the left side of the notebook.
