Operation Manual
After the connection is made, place the mouse pointer over the network status icon in the notication area, at
the far right of the taskbar, to verify the name and status of the connection.
NOTE: The functional range (how far your wireless signals travel) depends on WLAN implementation, router
manufacturer, and interference from other electronic devices or structural barriers such as walls and oors.
Using Bluetooth wireless devices (select models only)
A Bluetooth device provides short-range wireless communications that replace the physical cable connections
that traditionally link electronic devices such as the following:
●
Computers (desktop, notebook, PDA)
●
Phones (cellular, cordless, smart phone)
●
Imaging devices (printer, camera)
●
Audio devices (headset, speakers)
●
Mouse
Bluetooth devices provide peer-to-peer capability that allows you to set up a personal area network (PAN) of
Bluetooth devices. For information about conguring and using Bluetooth devices, see the Bluetooth
software Help.
Connecting to a wired network (via optional docking device or
expansion port device)
A local area network (LAN) is a wired connection. A LAN connection uses a RJ-45 network cable (sold
separately) and an optional docking device or expansion port device.
WARNING! To reduce the risk of electric shock, re, or damage to the equipment, do not plug a modem
cable or telephone cable into an RJ-45 (network) jack.
Connecting to a local area network (LAN)
Use a LAN connection if you want to connect the computer (via the optional docking device or expansion port
device) directly to a router in your home (instead of working wirelessly), or if you want to connect to an
existing network at your oice.
Connecting to a LAN requires an 8-pin, RJ-45 network cable and optional docking device or expansion port
device.
To connect the network cable, follow these steps:
1. Plug the network cable into the network jack (1) on the optional docking device or expansion port device
connected to the computer.
