Dell Wi-Fi Catcher™ Network Locator - Dell Vostro 1500 Owner's Manual

To monitor the status of your wireless device, see "Monitoring the Status of
the Wireless Network Card Through Dell QuickSet" on page 99.
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 networks in your vicinity.
To scan for a wireless network, slide and hold the wireless switch (see "wireless
switch" on page 27) 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 hibernate mode, in standby mode, or in Sleep state, as
long as the switch is configured through Dell QuickSet or the BIOS (system
setup program) to control WiFi network 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 WiFi network
connections.
For more information on the Wi-Fi Catcher Network Locator and to enable
the feature through Dell QuickSet, right-click the QuickSet icon in the
taskbar and select Help.
