Operating Basics

Security

◆Be sure to enable encryption function. Otherwise your computer will allow the illegal access by outsider through wireless LAN to cause illegal instruc- tion, eavesdropping, and loss or destruction of stored data. TOSHIBA strongly recommends the customer to enable the encryption function.

◆TOSHIBA is not liable for the eavesdropping of data due to the use of Wire- less LAN and the damage thereof.

Bluetooth® wireless technology

Bluetooth® wireless technology eliminates the need for cables between electronic devices such as desktop computers, printers and mobile phones. You cannot use the built-in Bluetooth functions and an optional Bluetooth Adapter simultaneously.

Bluetooth® wireless technology has the following features:

Worldwide operation

The Bluetooth radio transmitter and receiver operates in the 2.45 GHz band, which is license-free and compatible with radio systems in most countries in the world.

Radio links

You can easily establish links between two or more devices. The link is main- tained even if the devices are not within line of sight.

Security

Two advanced security mechanisms ensure a high level of security:

◆Authentication prevents access to critical data and makes it impossible to falsify the origin of a message.

◆Encryption prevents eavesdropping and maintains link privacy.
