Wireless connections

Wireless connection is the transfer of data without the use of cables but by means of radio waves only.

Using the wireless-LAN connection

A wireless local area network (LAN) covers a relatively small geographic area, such as an office building or a
house. Devices based on the 802.11 standards can connect to this type of network.
Your computer comes with a built-in wireless network card to help you establish wireless connections and
monitor the connection status.
To establish a wireless-LAN connection, do the following:
1. Turn on the wireless feature. See "Using the special keys" on page 16.
