4 Make sure you can watch TV or video through the wireless channel you have selected and select [Back]. The [Base station] window is restored. 5 Select [Settings], then select [Exit]. Using the Base Station as a Wireless Access Point z Tip The LocationFreeTV uses the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz channels. If you select [Automatic: 2.4 GHz only] or [Automatic: 5 GHz only], the base station automatically selects the optimum wireless signal for the specified band. Using another wireless device nearby If you are using two or more base stations within close range, or using your base station in range of a 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz wireless access point that conforms to IEEE 802.11a, b, or g standards, the wireless signal from the base station to the monitor may be disrupted. In this case, set your base station to [Automatic: 2.4 GHz only] or [Automatic: 5 GHz only] in the [Wireless Channel] window, and then set the wireless access point to a fixed channel. If images still do not display properly on the monitor, select [Manual] in the [Wireless Channel] window and manually change to a different channel than that set for the wireless access point. Note The term "wireless access point" above does not refer to the wireless transmission function of the base station, but to a separate wireless transmission device. Stopping radio wave emission from the monitor When using the monitor in a place where radio wave emissions are prohibited, switch the monitor settings to wired LAN. Note The base station always emits radio waves when its power is on. What Is Wireless LAN? A wireless LAN is a network (LAN) over which data is sent and received via wireless transmission. A wireless access point forms the center of a wireless network. You can use the base station to construct a wireless network for computers equipped with an integrated wireless LAN function or a wireless LAN card. Here are two examples of what you can do with a wireless network: • Computers in various rooms of your home, such as a living room and a child's room, can connect to the Internet wirelessly via the base station. Computer Monitor Base station z Tips • The wireless LAN described here is composed of the base station and a computer equipped with an integrated wireless LAN function or a wireless LAN card. If you are not going to construct a wireless network, you do not need to make the wireless LAN settings described in the following section. • When using the base station as a wireless access point for a computer, the computer must be equipped with an integrated wireless LAN function or wireless LAN card that conforms to IEEE 802.11a, b, or g standards. 132

channels. If you select [Automatic: 2.4 GHz only] or
[Automatic: 5 GHz only], the base station
automatically selects the optimum wireless signal for
the specified band.
Using another wireless device
nearby
If you are using two or more base stations within
close range, or using your base station in range of
a 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz wireless access point that
conforms to IEEE 802.11a, b, or g standards, the
wireless signal from the base station to the
monitor may be disrupted. In this case, set your
base station to [Automatic: 2.4 GHz only] or
[Automatic: 5 GHz only] in the [Wireless
Channel] window, and then set the wireless
access point to a fixed channel. If images still do
not display properly on the monitor, select
[Manual] in the [Wireless Channel] window and
manually change to a different channel than that
set for the wireless access point.

The term “wireless access point” above does not refer
to the wireless transmission function of the base
station, but to a separate wireless transmission device.
Stopping radio wave emission from
