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 Wi-Fi wireless local area networks (LAN) in your vicinity.
NOTE: For more information about the wireless switch, see
To scan for Wi-Fi 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 hibernate mode, or in standby mode, as long as the switch is configured through QuickSet
or the BIOS (system setup program) to control Wi-Fi 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 Wi-Fi
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
