Grab a copy of the user manual: http://h20628.www2.hp.com/km-ext/kmcsdirect/emr_na-c02288444-1.pdf

It shows all switches and lights.

The wireless button is on top of the keyboard above the F%/F6 keys and has an icon that looks like an antenna.

You can use the button or the controls in Windows to enable wireless.

Also check the system setup during a reboot to make sure it's enabled there.
