■TOSHIBA is not liable for the loss of data due to eavesdropping or illegal access through the wireless LAN and the damage thereof.

You can enable or disable Wireless communication (Wireless LAN function) with the FN + F8 hot key. No transmissions are sent or received when wireless communication is turned off.
