1. Type bluetooth in the taskbar search box, and then select Bluetooth and other devices settings. 2. Turn on Bluetooth, if it is not already turned on. 3. Select Add Bluetooth or other device, and then in the Add a device dialog box, select Bluetooth. 4. Select your device from the list, and then follow the on-screen instructions. NOTE: If the device requires verification, a pairing code is displayed. On the device that you are adding, follow the on-screen instructions to verify that the code on your device matches the pairing code. For more information, see the documentation provided with the device. NOTE: If your device does not appear in the list, be sure that Bluetooth is turned on for that device. Some devices might have additional requirements; see the documentation provided with the device. Using NFC to share information (select products only) Your computer supports Near Field Communication (NFC), which allows you to wirelessly share information between two NFC-enabled devices. Information is transferred from the tapping area (antenna) of one device to another. With NFC and supported apps, you can share websites, transfer contact information, transfer payments, and print on NFC-enabled printers. NOTE: To locate the tapping area on your computer, see Components on page 3. 1. Confirm that the NFC function is enabled. ● Type wireless in the taskbar search box, and then select Turn wireless devices on or off. ● Confirm that the selection for NFC is On. 2. Tap the NFC tapping area with an NFC-enabled device. You might hear a sound when the devices connect. NOTE: To find the location of the antenna on the other NFC device, see your device instructions. 3. Follow any on-screen instructions to continue. Connecting to a wired network Select products might allow wired connections: local area network (LAN) and modem connection. 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. Connecting to a local area network (LAN) (select products only) Use a LAN connection if you want to connect the computer directly to a router in your home (instead of working wirelessly) or if you want to connect to an existing network at your office. To connect the network cable, follow these steps: NOTE: A feature called HP LAN-Wireless Protection might be enabled on your computer. It closes your wireless (Wi-Fi) or WWAN connection when you connect directly to a LAN. For more information about HP LANWireless Protection, see Using HP LAN-Wireless Protection (select products only) on page 21. If there is no RJ-45 port on the computer, connecting to a LAN requires a network cable and a network jack or an optional docking device or expansion product. 20 Chapter 3 Network connections
