Wireless Radio Disable Switch some systems, Using Net Detect, Using Quick Connect, network connections - battery life

Page 38 highlights

If the Smart Connect wireless device does not find a network connection while in sleep mode, the Rapid Start timer will put the system into a lowerpower state to save battery. NOTE: If Rapid Start is enabled, the Smart Connect will automatically send the system into Rapid Start low-power mode between the hours configured in the "Advanced" tab extended power savings options. • Wireless Radio Disable Switch (some systems): Disabling wireless networking by means of the mechanical wireless disable switch or software wireless disable in Windows will temporarily pause operation of Smart Connect. This allows platform to operate in an "airplane mode", for travel, without permanently disabling the Smart Connect feature. When the physical wireless network switch or setting is re-enabled, Smart Connect will resume normal functionality. • Using Net Detect: Some platforms support an additional Smart Connect feature known as Net Detect, when equipped with specific Intel wireless devices (WLAN). The Net Detect feature will automatically wake when a "known" network is detected. The Net Detect feature keeps track of past network connections, and will prevent unnecessary wake events until a connection can be re-established. This can improve battery life. The Net Detect feature will automatically be disabled during Extended Power Savings hours. Net Detect may not be available on all systems at launch. • Using Quick Connect: Some platforms support an additional Smart Connect feature known as Quick Connect, when equipped with specific Dell wireless devices (WWAN).The Quick Connect feature keeps the network connection partially active in a low power mode while the system is in sleep state, allowing for faster access to network when the system wakes. Quick Connect may not be available on all systems at launch. 38 Intel Responsiveness Technologies - Dell Setup Guide

Intel Responsiveness Technologies - Dell Setup Guide
If the Smart Connect wireless device does not find a network connection
while in sleep mode, the Rapid Start timer will put the system into a lower-
power state to save battery.
NOTE:
If Rapid Start is enabled, the Smart Connect will automatically send
the system into Rapid Start low-power mode between the hours configured in
the "Advanced" tab extended power savings options.
Wireless Radio Disable Switch (some systems)
: Disabling wireless
networking by means of the mechanical wireless disable switch or software
wireless disable in Windows will temporarily pause operation of Smart
Connect.
This allows platform to operate in an "airplane mode", for travel,
without permanently disabling the Smart Connect feature.
When the
physical wireless network switch or setting is re-enabled, Smart Connect
will resume normal functionality.
Using Net Detect
:
Some platforms support an additional Smart Connect
feature known as Net Detect, when equipped with specific Intel wireless
devices (WLAN).
The Net Detect feature will automatically wake when a
"known" network is detected.
The Net Detect feature keeps track of past
network connections, and will prevent unnecessary wake events until a
connection can be re-established. This can improve battery life.
The
Net Detect feature will automatically be disabled during Extended Power
Savings hours.
Net Detect may not be available on all systems at launch.
Using Quick Connect
:
Some platforms support an additional
Smart Connect feature known as Quick Connect, when equipped with
specific Dell wireless devices (WWAN).The Quick Connect feature keeps
the network connection partially active in a low power mode while the
system is in sleep state, allowing for faster access to network when the
system wakes.
Quick Connect may not be available on all systems at
launch.
