Operating Basics

Wireless communications

The computer’s wireless communication function supports both Wireless

LAN and Bluetooth 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

(Revision A, B, G or n Draft 2.0).

■

Frequency Channel Selection of 5GHz for IEEE 802.11a or 2.4GHz for

802.11b/g

■

Roaming over multiple channels

■

Card power management

■

Do not use the Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi), Bluetooth or Wireless WAN

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, Bluetooth or Wireless WAN operation.

■

Turn Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Wireless WAN 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 Wi-Fi or Bluetooth or Wireless

WAN functionality.

■

Always turn off Wi-Fi or Bluetooth or Wireless WAN 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 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.
