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 on (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, use the wireless action key (f12) to turn on or turn off the wireless devices simultaneously. Individual wireless devices are controlled through HP Wireless Assistant. Using wireless devices 17
