Enabling/Disabling the Dell Mobile Broadband Card
NOTE:
If you are unable to connect to a Mobile Broadband network, ensure that
you have all the components for establishing a Mobile Broadband connection (see
"What You Need to Establish a Mobile Broadband Network Connection" on
page 106), and then verify that your Mobile Broadband card is enabled by verifying
the setting of the wireless switch.
You can turn your Mobile Broadband card on and off using the wireless switch
on your computer.
You can turn your computer’s wireless devices on and off with the wireless
switch on the front side of the computer (see "Front View" on page 24).
If the switch is in the on position, move the switch to the off position to
disable the switch and the Mobile Broadband card. If the switch is in the off
position, move the switch to the on position to enable the switch and the Dell
Mobile Broadband card. For information about the wireless switch positions,
see "wireless switch" on page 26.
To monitor the status of your wireless device, see "Monitoring the Status of
the Wireless Network Card Through Dell QuickSet" on page 105.

The Wi-Fi Catcher Network Locator light appears only when the system is
switched off and Wi-Fi is activated in BIOS.
The wireless switch on your Dell computer uses the Dell Wi-Fi Catcher
Network Locator to scan specifically for wireless networks in your vicinity. For
more information about the wireless switch, see "wireless switch" on page 26.
