Connect with a Secure Network Environment
● The radio waves used for wireless communication can reach beyond walls and other obstructions within a
certain range. Therefore, connecting the machine to a network without proper security measures may leak
personal data and other information to third parties. Connect the machine to a wireless LAN at your own
discretion and responsibility.
Reducing Power Consumption
● When Power Save Mode is enabled, the machine regularly enters the power save state according to the
signal transmitted by the wireless LAN router.
