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. Conrm that the NFC function is enabled.
● Type wireless in the taskbar search box, and then select Turn wireless devices on or o.
● Conrm 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 nd 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, re, 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 oice.
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 LAN-
Wireless 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.
