7 Wireless Switch
The Wireless Switch BIOS feature provides facility of enabling or disabling individual wireless radios by
toggling the Fn+PrintScreen/Wireless Switch.
This feature can individually enable/disable WWAN, WLAN, WLAN/WiGig, GPS (on WWAN Module), and/or
Bluetooth. For example: WLAN is enabled and WWAN and Bluetooth are disabled, if you physically move the
Wireless Switch to OFF mode, then only WLAN is turned off.
Note - This feature only works on Operating Systems prior to Windows 8. Beginning with Windows 8, the
Wireless Switch toggles the ‘Airplane Mode’ either in the ON or OFF mode.
Individual radio control is handled in the OS at PC Settings => Network => Airplane Mode.
