Using GPS (select models 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.

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, PDA)
●Phones (cellular, cordless, smart phone)
●Imaging devices (printer, camera)
●Audio devices (headset, speakers)
●Mouse
Bluetooth devices provide peer-to-peer capability that allows you to set up a personal area network
(PAN) of Bluetooth devices. For information about configuring and using Bluetooth devices, see the
Bluetooth software Help.
Connecting to a wired network
Your computer has a local area network (LAN) wired connection. A LAN connection uses a network
cable which is sold separately.
Connecting to a local area network (LAN)
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.
Connecting to a LAN requires an 8-pin, RJ-45 network cable.
To connect the network cable, follow these steps:
1.Plug the network cable into the network jack (1) on the computer.

							2.Plug the other end of the network cable into a network wall jack (2) or router.
NOTE:If the network cable contains noise suppression circuitry (3), which prevents
interference from TV and radio reception, orient the circuitry end of the cable toward the
computer.
