Using The Wireless Hotkey; Using Hp Wireless Assistant Software (Select Models Only); Using Hp Connection Manager (Select Models Only) - HP ProBook 5220m - Notebook PC User Manual

Using the wireless hotkey

The computer has a wireless hotkey (fn+f9), one or more wireless devices, and one or two wireless
lights, depending on the model. All of the wireless devices on your computer are enabled at the factory,
so the wireless light is on (white) when you turn on the computer.
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 amber, all
wireless devices are off.
Because the wireless devices are enabled at the factory, you can use the wireless hotkey
on or turn off the wireless devices simultaneously. Individual wireless devices can be controlled through
Computer Setup.
NOTE: If the wireless devices are disabled by Computer Setup, the wireless hotkey will not work until
you reenable your devices.

Using HP Wireless Assistant software (select models only)

A wireless device can be turned on or off using the HP Wireless Assistant software. If a wireless device
is disabled by Computer Setup, it must be reenabled by Computer Setup before it can be turned on or
off using HP Wireless Assistant.
NOTE: Enabling or turning on a wireless device does not automatically connect the computer to a
network or a Bluetooth-enabled device.
To view the state of the wireless devices, click the Show hidden icons icon, the arrow at the left of the
notification area, and position the cursor over the wireless icon.
If the wireless icon is not displayed in the notification area, complete the following steps to change the
HP Wireless Assistant properties:
1. Select Start > Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Windows Mobility Center.
