Using the wireless controls

You can control the wireless devices in your computer using these features:
● The f12
●
Operating system controls

Using the wireless action key

The computer has a wireless action key f12, one or more wireless devices, and one wireless light. All
of the wireless devices on your computer are enabled at the factory.
The wireless light indicates the overall power state of your wireless devices, not the status of individual
devices. If the wireless light is white, at least one wireless device is on. If the wireless light is off, all
wireless devices are off.
Because the wireless devices are enabled at the factory, you can use the wireless action key (f12) to
turn on or turn off all of the wireless devices simultaneously.
