Notes
• The LocationFree Base Station transmits on the 2.4
GHz and 5 GHz wireless channels. If other devices
in the vicinity emit electrical waves, such as a
wireless LAN device or microwave oven, the
strength of the wireless signal may decrease. The
materials used in the construction of a building's
walls and floors may also affect the signal strength.
• When using NetAV, the base station, router, and
connected devices at home also need to be left on
when you are away from home so that you can
connect to them via the Internet.
• Use of the NetAV function for purposes other than
personal enjoyment is prohibited.
