Dell™ Wi-Fi Catcher™ Network Locator
The wireless switch on your Dell computer uses the Dell Wi-Fi Catcher™ Network Locator to scan
specifically for wireless local area networks (LAN) in your vicinity.
NOTE: For more information about the wireless switch, see
page 28.
To scan for wireless LAN, slide and hold the switch in the "momentary" position for a few seconds. The
Wi-Fi Catcher Network Locator functions regardless of whether your computer is turned on or off, in

(system setup program) to control WLAN connections.
Because the Wi-Fi Catcher Network Locator is disabled and not configured for use when your computer
is shipped to you, you must first use Dell QuickSet to enable and configure the switch to control WLAN
network connections.
For more information on the Wi-Fi Catcher Network Locator and to enable the feature through
QuickSet, see the Dell QuickSet Help. To access the Help file, right-click the
