Network Settings

You can adjust the network settings to allow connection to a wireless local area network (WLAN). There are two WLAN modes.

Warning

Turn off the WLAN switch when in crowded places, such as in a crowded train. If a person nearby is using a pacemaker, it is possible that the radio waves could affect the pacemaker.

Ad Hoc Mode

In this mode, you can communicate directly with other PSP™ systems. To establish a connection in ad hoc mode, both PSP™ systems must either be set to "Automatic" or to the same channel. For details, refer to the instructions supplied with the ad hoc mode-compatible software.
