Click Connect.
If the WLAN is a security-enabled WLAN, you are prompted to enter a security code. Type the code, and

then click OK to complete the connection.

NOTE:

If no WLANs are listed, you may be out of range of a wireless router or access point.

NOTE:

If you do not see the WLAN you want to connect to, click Open Network and Sharing Center.

and then click Set up a new connection or network. A list of options is displayed, allowing you to

manually search for and connect to a network or to create a new network connection.

Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the connection.

After the connection is made, place the mouse pointer over the network status icon in the notification area, at

the far right of the taskbar, to verify the name and status of the connection.

NOTE:

The functional range (how far your wireless signals travel) depends on WLAN implementation, router

manufacturer, and interference from other electronic devices or structural barriers such as walls and floors.

Using HP Mobile Broadband (select products only)

Your HP Mobile Broadband computer has built-in support for mobile broadband service. Your new computer,

when used with a mobile operator’s network, gives you the freedom to connect to the Internet, send e-mail,

or connect to your corporate network without the need for Wi-Fi hotspots.

NOTE:

If your computer includes HP Mobile Connect, these instructions do not apply. See

Using HP Mobile

Connect (select products only) on page 30

You may need the HP Mobile Broadband Module serial number to activate mobile broadband service. The

serial number may be printed on a label inside the battery bay, under the service door, or on the back of the

display.
Some mobile network operators require the use of a SIM card. A SIM card contains basic information about

you, such as a personal identification number (PIN), as well as network information. Some computers include

a SIM card that is preinstalled. If the SIM card is not preinstalled, it may be provided in the HP Mobile

Broadband information provided with your computer or the mobile network operator may provide it

separately from the computer.
For information about HP Mobile Broadband and how to activate service with a preferred mobile network

operator, see the HP Mobile Broadband information included with your computer.

Using HP Mobile Connect (select products only)

HP Mobile Connect is a prepaid, mobile broadband service that provides a cost-effective, secure, simple, and

flexible mobile broadband connection for your computer. To use HP Mobile Connect, your computer must have

a SIM and the HP Mobile Connect app. For more information about HP Mobile Connect and where it is

available, go to

http://www.hp.com/go/mobileconnect

Using GPS (select products only)

Your computer may be equipped with a Global Positioning System (GPS) device. GPS satellites deliver location,

speed, and direction information to GPS-equipped systems.
For more information, see the HP GPS and Location software Help.
