Operating Basics Wireless communications The computer's wireless communication function supports some wireless communication devices. Only some models are equipped with both Wireless LAN and Bluetooth functions. ■ Do not use the Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) or Bluetooth functionalities near a microwave oven or in areas subject to radio interference or magnetic fields. Interference from a microwave oven or other source can disrupt Wi-Fi or Bluetooth operation. ■ Turn all wireless functionalities off when near a person who may have a cardiac pacemaker implant or other medical electric device. Radio waves may affect pacemaker or medical device operation, possibly resulting in serious injury. Follow the instruction of your medical device when using any wireless functionality. ■ Always turn off wireless functionality if the computer is near automatic control equipment or appliances such as automatic doors or fire detectors. Radio waves can cause malfunction of such equipment, possibly resulting in serious injury. ■ It may not be possible to make a network connection to a specified network name using the ad hoc network function. If this occurs, the new network(*) will have to be configured for all computers connected to the same network in order to re-enable network connections. * Please be sure to use new network name. Wireless LAN The Wireless LAN is compatible with other LAN systems based on Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum / Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing radio technology that complies with the IEEE802.11 Wireless LAN standard.

Operating Basics

Wireless communications

The computer’s wireless communication function supports some wireless

communication devices.

Only some models are equipped with both Wireless LAN and Bluetooth

functions.

Wireless LAN

The Wireless LAN is compatible with other LAN systems based on Direct

Sequence Spread Spectrum / Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing

radio technology that complies with the IEEE802.11 Wireless LAN

standard.

■

Frequency Channel Selection of 5GHz for IEEE 802.11a or/and

IEEE802.11n draft 2.0

■

Do not use the Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) or Bluetooth functionalities near a

microwave oven or in areas subject to radio interference or magnetic

fields. Interference from a microwave oven or other source can disrupt

Wi-Fi or Bluetooth operation.

■

Turn all wireless functionalities off when near a person who may have a

cardiac pacemaker implant or other medical electric device. Radio

waves may affect pacemaker or medical device operation, possibly

resulting in serious injury. Follow the instruction of your medical device

when using any wireless functionality.

■

Always turn off wireless functionality if the computer is near automatic

control equipment or appliances such as automatic doors or fire

detectors. Radio waves can cause malfunction of such equipment,

possibly resulting in serious injury.

■

It may not be possible to make a network connection to a specified

network name using the ad hoc network function.

If this occurs, the new network(*) will have to be configured for all

computers connected to the same network in order to re-enable

network connections.

* Please be sure to use new network name.

Do not install or remove a memory module while Wake-up on Wireless

LAN is enabled.

■

The Wake-up on Wireless LAN function lets the computer's power be

turned on when the computer receives a wake-up signal from the

administrator's computer via a wireless network.

Some models are equipped with a Wake-up on Wireless LAN function.

■

The Wake-up on Wireless LAN function consumes power even when

the system is off. Leave the AC adaptor connected while using this

feature.

■

The Wake-up on Wireless LAN function is effective only when it is

connected with an Access Point. This function becomes invalid when

the connection is broken.
