Page 35: Using A Wlan Device (Select Models Only)
Using a WLAN device (select models only) With a WLAN device, you can access a wireless local area network (WLAN), which is composed of other computers and accessories that are linked by a wireless router or a wireless access point. NOTE: The terms wireless router and wireless access point are often used interchangeably.
Page 36 When you set up a WLAN or access an existing WLAN, always enable security features to protect your network from unauthorized access. The common security levels are Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) and Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP). Because wireless radio signals travel outside the network, other WLAN devices can pick up unprotected signals and either connect to your network (uninvited) or capture information being sent across it.
Page 37: Connecting To A Wlan
Connecting to a WLAN To connect to the WLAN, follow these steps: Be sure that the WLAN device is on. If it is on, the wireless light is on. If the wireless light is amber, press the wireless button. Select Start > Connect to. Select your WLAN from the list, and then type the network security key, if required.
Page 38: Using Hp Mobile Broadband (Select Models Only)
HP Mobile Broadband enables your computer to use wireless wide area networks (WWANs) to access the Internet from more places and over larger areas than it can by using WLANs. Using HP Mobile Broadband requires a network service provider (called a mobile network operator), which in most cases is a mobile phone network operator.

Page 45: Using The Modem (Select Models Only)
Using the modem (select models only) The modem must be connected to an analog telephone line using a 6-pin, RJ-11 modem cable (purchased separately). In some countries or regions, a country- or region-specific modem cable adapter (purchased separately) is also required. Jacks for digital PBX systems may resemble analog telephone jacks, but they are not compatible with the modem.
Page 46: Connecting A Country- Or Region-Specific Modem Cable Adapter
Connecting a country- or region-specific modem cable adapter Telephone jacks vary by country or region. To use the modem and the modem cable (purchased separately) outside the country or region in which you purchased the computer, you must obtain a country- or region-specific modem cable adapter (purchased separately).
Page 47: Adding New Locations When Traveling
Adding new locations when traveling By default, the only location setting available to the modem is a location setting for the country or region in which you purchased the computer. As you travel to different countries or regions, set the internal modem to a location setting that meets the operating standards of the country or region in which you are using the modem.
Page 48: Solving Travel Connection Problems
Solving travel connection problems If you experience modem connection problems when using the computer outside of the country or region in which you purchased it, try the following suggestions. ● Check the telephone line type. The modem requires an analog, not a digital, telephone line. A line described as a PBX line is usually a digital line.
Page 49: Connecting To A Local Area Network (Lan)
Connecting to a local area network (LAN) Connecting to a local area network (LAN) requires an 8-pin, RJ-45 network cable (purchased separately). If the network cable contains noise suppression circuitry (1), which prevents interference from TV and radio reception, orient the circuitry end of the cable (2) toward the computer. To connect the network cable: Plug the network cable into the network jack (1) on the computer.
