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.

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.
