Notes on Using the Wi-Fi(R) (Wireless LAN) Function
Before using the Wi-Fi function, read the following precautions for correct use.
In some countries or regions, using the Wi-Fi products may be restricted by the local regulations.
Wi-Fi devices work on the 2.4 GHz band, which is used by a variety of devices. They use the technology to minimize radio
interference from other devices that use the same band; however, radio interference may still slow communication speeds,
reduce communication range, or cause communication failure.
If both the BLUETOOTH function and the 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi function of your VAIO computer are enabled, interference may occur
and cause slower communication speeds or other problems.
To communicate via Wi-Fi while you are on the road, you may need to contract with a Wi-Fi connection service provider.
If your VAIO computer is equipped with the IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n standard, outdoor use of the 5 GHz Wi-Fi function is
prohibited by law.
The communication speed and range may vary depending on the following conditions:
Distance between devices
Existence of obstacles between devices
Device configuration
Radio conditions
Ambient environment (including wall material, etc.)
Apps in use
Communications may be cut off depending on radio conditions.
The data transfer rate specified in the specification is the theoretical maximum, and may not reflect actual data transfer
rate.
Actual communication speed may not be as fast as the one displayed on your VAIO computer.
The 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi frequency bands are not communicable with one another.
