FOR BETTER COMMUNICATIONS

This personal computer may not operate properly
due to the operating environment. Strictly observe
the following precautions when installing the main
unit of the computer:
• Since this personal computer and equipment
compliant with IEEE802.11 differ in operation
frequency, it is not possible to communicate
between both.
• The recommended wireless communications
distance is within a line-of-sight radius of 25
meters. For reasons related to the
characteristics of the wireless LAN, however,
the actual communications distance depends
on the structure of the building in which the
wireless LAN function is to be used, the
presence/absence of obstructions, the types
of software to be used, installation status,
radio-wave status, or other operating
conditions. Decreases in communications
speed or a communications failure may also
occur.
• Distance the main unit of this personal
computer is from other electric appliances.
If the main unit of the person computer is
installed near a powered on electric
appliance, the computer may not be able to
communicate properly or trouble may occur
in the electric appliance.
• If the computer is unable to communicate
properly, change the channel to be used or
the installation location. During the use of a
microwave oven or other equipment
generating strong high frequency energy, in
particular, the personal computer may be
highly susceptible to the energy and unable
to communicate properly.
• If a broadcasting station or wireless
communications equipment is present
nearby and this prevents the computer from
communicating properly, moving the main
unit of the computer is suggested. Radio
interference may also occur if the intensity
of ambient radio waves is too high.
