All of the wireless devices on the computer are enabled at the factory, so the wireless light illuminates 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 illuminates white, at least one wireless device is on. If the wireless light illuminates amber, all wireless devices are off. Because the wireless devices are enabled at the factory, use the wireless key to turn on or turn off the wireless devices simultaneously. Individual wireless devices are controlled through HP Wireless Assistant. 14 Chapter 2 Wireless, local area network, and modem
