Security

■

TOSHIBA strongly recommend that you enable encryption functionality,

otherwise your computer will be open to illegal access by an outsider

using a wireless connection. If this occurs, the outsider may illegally

access your system, eavesdrop, or cause the loss or destruction of

stored data.

TOSHIBA is not liable for the loss of data due to eavesdropping or

illegal access through the wireless LAN and the damage thereof.

Bluetooth wireless technology

Bluetooth wireless technology eliminates the need for cables, such as

desktop computers, between your PC and other electronic devices,

example of printers and mobile phones.

You cannot use the computer's built-in Bluetooth functions and an external

Bluetooth adaptor simultaneously. For reference, Bluetooth wireless

technology has the following features:

■

The transmission speed over the wireless LAN, and the distance over

which the wireless LAN can reach, may vary depending on surrounding

electromagnetic environment, obstacles, access point design and

configuration, client design and software/hardware configurations. The

transmission rate described is the theoretical maximum speed as

specified under the appropriate standard - the actual transmission

speed will be lower than the theoretical maximum speed.
