4.1 WIRELESS POWER MANAGER
Wireless Power Manager is a control panel applet, which allows you to choose and enable the
wireless connectivity, WLAN (802.11b) and/or Bluetooth. That is, the power to the wireless module
is turned on and the software driver is installed. After the initialization process, run
Bluetooth
Manager or Wi-Fi Utility for the use of Bluetooth services and 802.11b connectivity respectively.
However, when both Bluetooth and 802.11b are enabled on battery power, the main battery charge
will drop down substantially.
For up-to-date status information on connections, tap the Connectivity button at the top of the
Today screen.
Note: You may need to turn off the wireless power or simply stop the wireless signals at times, in
order to conserve battery power, or in situations where the use of radio is prohibited, such
as on airplanes, in hospitals, etc.
Tap on the taskbar and select [WLAN Power] or [Bluetooth Power]. If it is ticked, the specific
wireless connectivity is enabled. Otherwise, it is disabled.
