Before Using the Optional Wireless LAN

How to Handle This Device

The WLAN device is an optional device that may come pre-installed in your mobile computer. Under

normal circumstances, it should not be necessary for you to remove or re-install it. The operating system

that your mobile computer comes with has been pre-configured to support the WLAN device.

• The Wireless LAN devices support IEEE802.11a, IEEE802.11b, IEEE802.11g, and IEEE802.11n.

• The WLAN devices operate in the 2.4 GHz ISM band and the 5 GHz lower, middle, and upper UNII bands.

• Microwave ovens may interfere with the operation of WLAN devices since they operate in the same 2.4 GHz

frequency range as IEEE802.11b/g/n devices. Interference by microwaves does not occur with IEEE802.11a

radio which operates in the 5 GHz RF band.

• Wireless devices that transmit in the 2.4 GHz range may interfere with operation of WLAN devices in

IEEE802.11b/g/n modes. Symptoms of interference include reduced throughput, intermittent disconnects,

and many frame errors. It is HIGHLY recommended that these interfering devices be powered off to ensure

proper operation of the WLAN device.

Deactivating/Disconnecting the WLAN Device

Disconnecting the WLAN device may be desired in certain circumstances (to extend battery life) or where

certain environments require it (i.e. hospitals, clinics, airplanes, etc.). The WLAN device can be

deactivated by using the Wireless On/Off Switch, and it can be disconnected in Windows using the WLAN

icon in the system tray (Note that disconnecting via the icon in the system tray does not turn off the radio;

it continues to transmit and receive even though it’s not connected.).

BEFORE USING THE WIRELESS LAN DEVICE, YOU MUST FIRST INSTALL CLICKME! TO ENSURE THAT THE

CORRECT SOFTWARE FOR YOUR DEVICE IS INSTALLED. SEE “INSTALLING CLICKME!” ON PAGE 76.
