You can use Location Profile Settings to create profiles for accessing the
Internet with your Tablet-PC in your office, home, or other public places with
Internet services. General Mobility Settings allows you to change the way
network connections are handled. The profiles consist of different network
settings and equipment that you need when using your Tablet-PC in different
locations.

Dell Wi-Fi Catcher™ Network Locator
The wireless switch on your Dell Tablet-PC uses the Dell Wi-Fi Catcher
Network Locator to scan specifically for WiFi WLAN in your vicinity.
To scan for WiFi WLAN, slide and hold the switch in the "momentary"
position for a few seconds. The Wi-Fi Catcher Network Locator functions
regardless of whether your Tablet-PC is turned on or off, in hibernate, sleep,
or standby mode, as long as the switch is configured through Dell QuickSet or
the BIOS (system setup program) to control WiFi network connections.
NOTE:
The Dell Wi-Fi Catcher Network Locator light appears only when the
computer is turned off and wireless networking is activated in the system setup
program. While working in a Microsoft Windows operating system, the light is
designed not to appear.
Because the Wi-Fi Catcher Network Locator is disabled and not configured
for use when your Tablet-PC is shipped to you, you must first use Dell
QuickSet to enable and configure the switch to control WiFi network
connections.
For more information on the Wi-Fi Catcher Network Locator and to enable
the feature through Dell QuickSet, right-click the QuickSet icon in the
taskbar and select
