The labels affixed to the computer provide information you may need when you troubleshoot system
problems or travel internationally with the computer.
IMPORTANT:Check the following locations for the labels described in this section: the bottom of
the computer, inside the battery bay, under the removable service door, or on the back of the display.
●Service label—Provides important information to identify your computer. When contacting
support, you will probably be asked for the serial number, and possibly for the product number or
the model number. Locate these numbers before you contact support.
Your service label will resemble one of the examples shown below. Refer to the illustration that
most closely matches the service label on your computer.

							3 Connecting to a network
Your computer can travel with you wherever you go. But even at home, you can explore the globe
and access information from millions of websites using your computer and a wired or wireless
network connection. This chapter will help you get connected to that world.
Connecting to a wireless network
Your computer may be equipped with one or more of the following wireless devices:
●WLAN device—Connects the computer to wireless local area networks (commonly referred to as
Wi-Fi networks, wireless LANs, or WLANs) in corporate offices, your home, and public places
such as airports, restaurants, coffee shops, hotels, and universities. In a WLAN, the mobile
wireless device in your computer communicates with a wireless router or a wireless access
point.
●HP Mobile Broadband Module—Gives you wireless connectivity over a wireless wide area
network (WWAN), a much larger area. Mobile network operators install base stations (similar to
cell phone towers) throughout large geographic areas, effectively providing coverage across
entire states, regions, or even countries.
●Bluetooth device—Creates a personal area network (PAN) to connect to other Bluetooth-
enabled devices such as computers, phones, printers, headsets, speakers, and cameras. In a
PAN, each device communicates directly with other devices, and devices must be relatively
close together—typically within 10 meters (approximately 33 feet) of each other.
For more information about wireless technology, the Internet, and networking, see the information
and website links provided in Help and Support.
▲From the Start screen, type help, and then select Help and Support.
Using the wireless controls
You can control the wireless devices in your computer using one or more of these features:
●Wireless button or wireless key (also called the airplane mode key) (referred to in this chapter as
the wireless button)
●Operating system controls
Wireless button
The computer has a wireless button, one or more wireless devices, and, on select models, one or two
wireless lights. All the wireless devices on your computer are enabled at the factory. If your computer
has a wireless light, the wireless light is on (white) when your computer is on.
The wireless light indicates the overall power state of your wireless devices, not the status of
individual devices. If the wireless light is white, at least one wireless device is on. If the wireless light
is off, all wireless devices are off.
NOTE:On some models, the wireless light is amber when all wireless devices are off.
Because the wireless devices are enabled at the factory, you can use the wireless button to turn on or
turn off all the wireless devices simultaneously.

							Operating system controls
The Network and Sharing Center allows you to set up a connection or network, connect to a network,
and diagnose and repair network problems.
To use operating system controls:
1.From the Start screen, type control panel, and then select Control Panel.
‒ or –
From the Windows desktop, right-click the Start button, and then select Control Panel.
2.Select Network and Internet, and then select Network and Sharing Center.
For more information, see the information provided in Help and Support.
▲From the Start screen, type help, and then select Help and Support.
Connecting to a WLAN
NOTE:When you are setting up Internet access in your home, you must establish an account with
an Internet service provider (ISP). To purchase Internet service and a modem, contact a local ISP.
The ISP will help set up the modem, install a network cable to connect your wireless router to the
modem, and test the Internet service.
To connect to a WLAN, follow these steps:
1.Be sure that the WLAN device is on. On select models, if the device is on, the wireless light is
white. If the wireless light is off, press the wireless button.
NOTE:On some models, the wireless light is amber when all wireless devices are off.
2.From the Start screen or the Windows desktop, point to the upper-right or lower-right corner of
the display to reveal the charms.
3.Select Settings, and then click the network status icon.
4.Select your WLAN from the list.
5.Click Connect.
If the WLAN is a security-enabled WLAN, you are prompted to enter a security code. Type the
code, and then click Next to complete the connection.
NOTE:If no WLANs are listed, you may be out of range of a wireless router or access point.
NOTE:If you do not see the WLAN you want to connect to, from the Windows desktop, right-
click the network status icon, and then select Open Network and Sharing Center. Click Set up a
new connection or network. A list of options is displayed, allowing you to manually search for
and connect to a network or to create a new network connection.
6.Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the connection.
After the connection is made, place the mouse pointer over the network status icon in the notification
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 floors.

							Using HP Mobile Broadband (select models only)
HP Mobile Broadband enables your computer to use WWANs to access the Internet from more
places and over larger areas than it can by using WLANs. Using HP Mobile Broadband requires a
network service provider (called a 
mobile network operator), which in most cases is a cellular phone
network operator. Coverage for HP Mobile Broadband is similar to cellular phone voice coverage.
When used with a mobile network operator service, HP Mobile Broadband gives you the freedom to
stay connected to the Internet, send email, or connect to your corporate network whether you are on
the road or outside the range of Wi-Fi hotspots.
You might need the HP Mobile Broadband Module IMEI and/or MEID number to activate mobile
broadband service.The serial number is printed on a label located on the bottom of your computer.
Some mobile network operators require the use of a subscriber identity module (SIM) card. A SIM
card contains basic information about you, such as a personal identification number (PIN), as well as
network information. Some computers include a SIM card that is preinstalled in the battery bay or in a
SIM slot. If the SIM card is not preinstalled, it may be included with the HP Mobile Broadband
documents provided with your computer, or the mobile network operator may provide it separately
from the computer.
For information about HP Mobile Broadband and how to activate service with a preferred mobile
network operator, see the HP Mobile Broadband documents included with your computer.
Using HP DataPass (select models only)
HP DataPass provides access to Mobile Broadband with no annual contracts, no credit card, and no
overage fees. With HP DataPass, you simply turn on the device, register, and connect. HP DataPass
includes a monthly data package with purchase of the device. For more information, go to
http://www.hp.com/go/hpdatapass.
Inserting and removing a SIM card (select models only)
CAUTION:To prevent damage to the connectors, use minimal force when inserting a SIM card.
To insert a SIM card, follow these steps:
1.Shut down the computer.
2.Close the display.
3.Disconnect all external devices connected to the computer.
4.Unplug the power cord from the AC outlet.

section.
6.Reconnect external power.
7.Reconnect external devices.
8.Turn on the computer.
To remove a SIM card, press in on the SIM card, and then remove it from the slot.
