Deactivating The Wlan Device - Fujitsu MH380 User Manual

How to Handle This Device
The WLAN device is a device that omes pre-installed in your mobile computer. Under normal
circumstances, it should not be necessary for you to remove or re-install it. The operating system that your
mobile computer comes with has been pre-configured to support the WLAN device.
•
The Wireless LAN device supports IEEE802.11b, IEEE802.11g, and IEEE802.11n.
•
The WLAN devices operate in the 2.4 GHz ISM band and the 5 GHz lower, middle, and upper UNII bands.
•
Microwave ovens may interfere with the operation of WLAN devices since they operate in the same 2.4 GHz
frequency range as IEEE802.11b/g/n devices.
•
Wireless devices that transmit in the 2.4 GHz range may interfere with operation of WLAN devices in
IEEE802.11b/g/n modes. Symptoms of interference include reduced throughput, intermittent disconnects,
and many frame errors. It is HIGHLY recommended that these interfering devices be powered off to ensure
proper operation of the WLAN device.

Deactivating the WLAN Device

Deactivating the WLAN device may be desired in certain circumstances (to extend battery life) or where
certain environments require it (i.e. hospitals, clinics, airplanes, etc.). The WLAN device can be
deactivated in Windows using the WLAN On/Off key (Fn + F5). Note that disconnecting via the icon in
the system tray does not turn off the radio; it continues to transmit and receive even though it's not
connected.
