All of the wireless devices on your computer are enabled at the factory, so the wireless light is on (blue) 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 blue, 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 switch to turn 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 switch will not work until you reenable your devices. Using operating system controls Some operating systems also offer a way to manage integrated wireless devices and the wireless connection. For more information, refer to the operating system documentation. 26 Chapter 3 Wireless
