DEACTIVATING THE WLAN DEVICE
Deactivation of the WLAN device may be desired in
certain circumstances (to extend battery life) or where
certain environments require it (e.g., hospitals, clinics,
airplanes, etc.). Fujitsu mobile computers employ two
methods with which to deactivate the WLAN device,
1) the Wireless On/Off Switch and 2) in Windows using
the Intel PROSet, Atheros Client Utility, or Broadcom
Wireless Utility software.
Deactivation using the Wireless On/Off Switch
The WLAN device can be deactivated quickly and effi-
ciently by toggling the Wireless On/Off Switch to the Off
position. (Figure 5-3)
The Wireless On/Off switch has no effect on non-Wire-
less LAN models.
