I would have answered this earlier, but I've been stuck in a loop following trimeresurus's links for the last half hour :)

Check for a wireless switch on the laptop, it may be a physical switch or it may be a combination of pressing the Fn key and one of the F keys along the top of the keyboard. your quicktart guide (or similar) will tell you precisely where it it.
