Your computer can travel with you wherever you go. But even at home, you can explore the globe and access

information from millions of websites by using your computer and a wired or wireless network connection.

This chapter helps you get connected to that world.

Connecting to a wireless network

Your computer is equipped with multiple wireless devices.

WLAN device—Connects the computer to wireless local area networks (commonly referred to as Wi-Fi

networks, wireless LANs, or WLANs) in corporate offices, your home, and public places such as airports,

restaurants, coffee shops, hotels, and universities. In a WLAN, the mobile wireless device in your

computer communicates with a wireless router or a wireless access point.

HP Mobile Broadband Module (select products only)—A wireless wide area network (WWAN) device that

gives you wireless connectivity over a much larger area. Mobile network operators install base stations

(similar to cell phone towers) throughout large geographic areas, effectively providing coverage across

entire states, regions, or even countries.

Bluetooth® device—Creates a personal area network (PAN) to connect to other Bluetooth-enabled

devices such as computers, phones, printers, headsets, speakers, and cameras. In a PAN, each device

communicates directly with other devices, and devices must be relatively close together—typically

within 10 m (approximately 33 ft) of each other.

Using the wireless controls

You can control the wireless devices in your computer using one or more of these features.

Wireless button (also called airplane mode key or wireless key)

Operating system controls

Wireless button

Operating system controls

The computer has a wireless button and two wireless devices. All the wireless devices on your computer are

enabled at the factory.

The Network and Sharing Center allows you to set up a connection or network, connect to a network, and

diagnose and repair network problems.

To use operating system controls:

Type control panel in the taskbar search box, select Control Panel, and then select Network and

Sharing Center.

– or –

On the taskbar, select the network status icon, and then select Network & Internet settings.

Chapter 3 Network connections

Connecting to a WLAN

Before you can connect to a WLAN with this procedure, you must first set up internet access.

NOTE: When you are setting up internet access in your home, you must establish an account with an

internet service provider (ISP). To purchase internet service and a modem, contact a local ISP. The ISP will

help set up the modem, install a network cable to connect your wireless router to the modem, and test the

internet service.

Be sure that the WLAN device is on.

1.

2.

On the taskbar, select the network status icon, and then connect to one of the available networks.

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

then select Next to complete the connection.

NOTE:

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

NOTE:

If you do not see the WLAN that you want to connect to:

On the taskbar, right-click the network status icon, and then select Open Network & Internet settings.

‒ or –

On the taskbar, select the network status icon, and then select Network & Internet settings.

Under the Change your network settings section, select Network and Sharing Center.

create a new network connection.

3.

Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the connection.

After the connection is made, select the network status icon 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.

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 email, or

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

You might need the HP Mobile Broadband Module IMEI number, MEID number, or both to activate mobile

broadband service. The number is printed on a label located on the back of the display.

3.

On the taskbar, select the network status icon.

Select Network & Internet settings.

Under the Network & Internet section, select Cellular, and then select Advanced Options.

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 might be provided in the HP Mobile

Broadband information that is included with your computer or the mobile network operator might provide it

separately from the computer.

Using HP Mobile Broadband

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 eSIM

Your computer supports the use of an eSIM. An eSIM is a programmable version of the commonly used SIM

that you can use to download different profiles from selected carriers.

An eSIM lets you connect to the internet over a cellular data connection. With an eSIM, you do not need to get

a SIM card from your mobile operator, and you can quickly switch between mobile operators and data plans.

For example, you might have one cellular data plan for work and a different plan with another mobile

operator for personal use. If you travel, you can connect in more places by finding mobile operators with

plans in that area.

You can implement eSIMs in two ways:

The eSIM chip can be embedded (eUICC). The notebook then operates as a dual SIM, one as eUICC and the

second as standard micro or nano SIM card on a SIM card tray. Only one SIM can be active at a time.

A removable physical eSIM is placed on a SIM card tray like a standard micro or nano SIM card, but the

eSIM is not limited to a single carrier (physical blank eSIM).

You must add an eSIM profile to connect to the internet using cellular data. To add a profile, manage SIM

profiles, and learn how to use an eSIM, go to https://www.support.microsoft.com , and type Use an eSIM

in the search bar.

Using GPS

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

speed, and direction information to GPS-equipped systems. To enable GPS, be sure that location is enabled

under the Windows privacy setting.

Type location in the taskbar search box, and then select Location privacy settings.

Follow the on-screen instructions for using location settings.

Using Bluetooth wireless devices

A Bluetooth device provides short-range wireless communications that replace the physical cable connections

that traditionally link electronic devices.

Computers (desktop, notebook)

Phones (cellular, cordless, smartphone)

Imaging devices (printer, camera)

Audio devices (headset, speakers)

Mouse

External keyboard

Digital pen

Connecting Bluetooth devices

Before you can use a Bluetooth device, you must establish a Bluetooth connection.

Connecting to a wired network

Your computer requires a dock or a USB adapter (sold separately) to connect to wired connections: local area

network (LAN) and modem connections. A LAN connection uses a network cable and is much faster than a

modem, which uses a telephone cable. Both cables are sold separately.

WARNING! To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or damage to the equipment, do not plug a modem

cable or telephone cable into an RJ-45 (network) jack.

NOTE: Although you can connect your computer to a wired network through a docking station or external

adapter, your computer does not support S4/S5 WOL (Wake on LAN) or UEFI PXE boot via LAN functionality.

Antivirus software can detect most viruses, destroy them, and, in most cases, repair any damage that they

cause. To provide ongoing protection against newly discovered viruses, antivirus software must be kept up to

date.

Windows Defender is preinstalled on your computer. HP strongly recommends that you continue to use an

antivirus program to fully protect your computer.

Using firewall software

Firewalls are designed to prevent unauthorized access to a system or network. A firewall can be a software

program that you install on your computer, network, or both, or it can be a solution made up of both hardware

and software.

There are two types of firewalls to consider:

Host-based firewalls—Software that protects only the computer it is installed on.

Network-based firewalls—Installed between your DSL or cable modem and your home network to

protect all the computers on the network.

When a firewall is installed on a system, all data sent to and from the system is monitored and compared with

a set of user-defined security criteria. Any data that does not meet those criteria is blocked.

IMPORTANT: Keep liquids away from the product. Avoid getting moisture in any openings. If liquid

makes its way inside your HP product, it can cause damage to the product. Do not spray liquids directly

on the product. Do not use aerosol sprays, solvents, abrasives, or cleaners containing hydrogen

peroxide or bleach that might damage the finish.

5.

6.

7.

Start with the display (if applicable). Wipe carefully in one direction, and move from the top of the

display to the bottom. Finish with any flexible cables, like power cord, keyboard cable, and USB cables.

Be sure that surfaces have completely air-dried before turning the device on after cleaning.

Discard the gloves after each cleaning. Clean your hands immediately after you remove the gloves.

See Cleaning your computer with a disinfectant on page 37 for recommended steps to clean the high-touch,

external surfaces on your computer to help prevent the spread of harmful bacteria and viruses.

The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends cleaning surfaces, followed by disinfection, as a best

practice for preventing the spread of viral respiratory illnesses and harmful bacteria.

After cleaning the external surfaces of your computer using the steps in Removing dirt and debris from your

computer on page 37, you might also choose to clean the surfaces with a disinfectant. A disinfectant that is

Standards and legislation

Countries worldwide are enacting regulations to improve access to products and services for persons with

disabilities. These regulations are historically applicable to telecommunications products and services, PCs

and printers with certain communications and video playback features, their associated user documentation,

and their customer support.

Standards

The US Access Board created Section 508 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) standards to address

access to information and communication technology (ICT) for people with physical, sensory, or cognitive

disabilities.

The standards contain technical criteria specific to various types of technologies, as well as performance-

based requirements which focus on functional capabilities of covered products. Specific criteria cover

software applications and operating systems, web-based information and applications, computers,

telecommunications products, video and multimedia, and self-contained closed products.

Mandate 376 – EN 301 549

The European Union created the EN 301 549 standard within Mandate 376 as an online toolkit for public

procurement of ICT products. The standard specifies the accessibility requirements applicable to ICT products

and services, with a description of the test procedures and evaluation methodology for each requirement.

Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG)

Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) from the W3C's Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) helps web

designers and developers create sites that better meet the needs of people with disabilities or age-related

limitations.

WCAG advances accessibility across the full range of web content (text, images, audio, and video) and web

applications. WCAG can be precisely tested, is easy to understand and use, and allows web developers

flexibility for innovation. WCAG 2.0 has also been approved as ISO/IEC 40500:2012.

WCAG specifically addresses barriers to accessing the web experienced by people with visual, auditory,

physical, cognitive, and neurological disabilities, and by older web users with accessibility needs. WCAG 2.0

provides characteristics of accessible content:

Perceivable (for instance, by addressing text alternatives for images, captions for audio, adaptability of

presentation, and color contrast)

Operable (by addressing keyboard access, color contrast, timing of input, seizure avoidance, and

navigability)
