    Hi,

    Sorry if these q's have been asked before:

    1. How do you turn off bluetooth (currently disabling the adapter) and leave wi-fi on?
    I do not have the smart wireless app installed, can i down load it and will it work?

    2. is the lid carbon fibre or not in the marketing specs it says it is however comparing it to my SZ650N the Z looks more plastic than carbon fibre.

    thanks

    1. If you installed the SmartWiFi application, then you can turn off the bluetooth. Other than that, there is no way to turn off your bluetooth but leave WiFi on.

    2. If you did not get the premium carbon fibre option, then your lid is not carbon fibre.

    if you look at the lid at an angle, you will see fibers. if you see nothing, you didn't get it.

    The Z series "normal" and "premium carbon fibre" lids are identical except for the finish. The premium one is brushed, either with or without additional patterns, and catches the light nicely at certain angles.
    Both are plastic with milled carbon fibres embedded, and the only difference is visual (and in some cases, price).

    I do have a brushed effect lid it's not dull black plastic, kind of sparkles in the light.
