NOTE: Contact your IT administrator for proxy settings, VPN congurations, or other network connection
requirements.

Connecting to a wireless network

Your device may be equipped with one or more of the following wireless devices:
WLAN device—Connects the device to wireless local area networks (commonly referred to as Wi-Fi networks, wireless LANs, or WLANs) in corporate oices, your home, and public places such as airports, restaurants, coee shops, hotels, and universities. In a WLAN, the mobile wireless device in your device communicates with a wireless router or a wireless access point.
Mobile broadband module—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, eectively 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 meters (approximately 33 feet) of each other.

Using the network & wireless controls

The Network & wireless option allows you to set up a connection or network, connect to a network, create a mobile hotspot, and see your data usage.
To use network & wireless controls, follow these steps:
1.
On your device, swipe down from the top of the screen, and then tap All settings.
2. Tap Network & wireless, and then select an option to continue.
NOTE: For additional help, refer to the Get Started app; this app requires an Internet connection. Swipe left
from the right edge of the Start screen to display all apps, and then tap Get Started. Tap , and then tap Get connected.

Connecting to a WLAN

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.
To connect to a WLAN, follow these steps:
1. Be sure that the WLAN device is on.
2.
On your device, swipe down from the top of the screen, and then tap All settings.
Connecting to a wireless network 15
3. Tap Network & wireless.
4. Tap Wi-Fi.
5. Make sure Wi-Fi networking is set to On, and then connect to one of the available networks.
If the WLAN is a security-enabled WLAN, you are prompted to enter a password. Enter the password, and then tap Done 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, tap Manage, tap +, and then follow the on-
screen instructions to complete the connection.
After the connection is made, swipe down from the top of the screen, and then tap 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 oors.

Connecting to cellular networks

Your device supports a nano SIM card for connecting to cellular and data networks. Select products also support a second nano SIM card, which allows your device to have two dierent phone numbers. See
Installing nano SIM cards on page 10 for SIM card installation steps.
To access cellular and SIM settings:
1.
Swipe down from the top of the screen, and then tap All settings.
2. Tap Networks & wireless, and then tap Cellular & SIM.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions.
NOTE: For additional information, tap Learn more.

Using Bluetooth wireless devices

A Bluetooth device provides short-range wireless communications that replace the physical cable connections that traditionally link electronic devices such as the following:
Computers (desktop, notebook)
Phones (cellular, cordless, smartphone)
Imaging devices (printer, camera)
Audio devices (headset, speakers)
Mouse
External keyboard
Bluetooth devices provide peer-to-peer capability that allows you to set up a PAN of Bluetooth devices.
16 Chapter 4 Network connections
Connecting Bluetooth devices
Before you can use a Bluetooth device, you must establish a Bluetooth connection.
1. Be sure that the Bluetooth device is on.
2.
On your device, swipe down from the top of the screen, and then tap All settings.
3. Tap Devices.
4. Tap Bluetooth.
5. Make sure Status is set to On.
6. Select your Bluetooth device from the list, and then follow the on-screen instructions.
NOTE: If the Bluetooth device requires verication, a pairing code is displayed. On the Bluetooth device you
are adding, follow the on-screen instructions to verify that the code on your Bluetooth device matches the pairing code. For more information, refer to the documentation provided with the Bluetooth device.
NOTE: If your Bluetooth device does not appear in the list, be sure that Bluetooth function on that Bluetooth
device is turned on. Some Bluetooth devices may have additional requirements; refer to the documentation provided with the Bluetooth device.

Connecting to a wired network—LAN (select products only)

Use a LAN connection if you want to connect the device directly to a router in your home (instead of working wirelessly), or if you want to connect to an existing network at your oice.
Connecting to a LAN requires an RJ-45 (network) cable and the optional desk dock.
For more information about the desk dock ports, refer to the documentation provided with the desk dock.
Contact your IT administrator for proxy settings or VPN congurations.
NOTE: Support for LAN connections via proxy may require additional software. For more information, go to
http://www.hp.com/support.

Sharing or paying wirelessly

NFC technology lets your device communicate with other devices that support NFC. With NFC and supported apps, you can wave the device over a display at a conference to view more information, tap devices with a coworker to share work products, or swipe your device to pay at a store.
