How do I connect my Bluetooth to my Lenovo t420?

Note: Before you start setting up wireless networking connections by using Access Connections, obtain a

Network Name (SSID) and your encryption information from your network administrator.

Access Connections, a connectivity assistant program, can easily enable one network adapter and disable

the other adapters on demand. After setting up your wireless networking connection, you can use the

program to quickly switch the network settings.

Wireless upgradeable ThinkPad models

Your computer can be wireless upgradeable. This means that your computer has an antenna that can

support wireless LAN access when wireless LAN access points are available. Wireless devices are available

from Lenovo. For more information, refer to "Finding ThinkPad options" on page 149.

Using wireless WAN connections

Wireless Wide Area Network (wireless WAN) enables you to establish wireless connections over remote

public or private networks. These connections can be maintained over a large geographical area, such as

a city or an entire country, by use of multiple antenna sites or satellite systems maintained by wireless

service providers.

Some ThinkPad notebooks come with a built-in wireless WAN card integrating some wireless WAN

technologies, such as 1xEV-DO, HSPA, 3G or GPRS. You can connect to the Internet or your company

network with the built-in wireless WAN card and the configuration utility to make a wireless WAN connection

and monitor its status.

Note: Wireless WAN service is provided by authorized service providers in some countries.

To find the location of the wireless WAN antenna on your computer, refer to "Location of the UltraConnect

wireless antennas" on page 238.

To use the wireless WAN feature, start Access Connections.

If your computer is equipped with the Integrated Bluetooth features, you can enable or disable the features

degraded.
