Request Regarding Security

When using this product, security breaches of the type described below are conceivable.
• Leakage of your private information via this product
• Illegal operation of this product by a malicious third-party
• Harm to or cessation of operation of this product by a malicious third-party
Be sure to implement sufficient security measures.
• Set passwords, and limit the users that are permitted login access.
• Make sure the password is as hard to guess as possible.
• Change the password periodically.
• Panasonic Corporation and its affiliated companies never directly ask customers for their password.
Do not give out your password even if directly asked by a third-party representing themselves as Panasonic Corporation.
• Always use on a network that has safety protection such as a firewall implemented.
The advantage of a wireless LAN is that information can be exchanged between a PC or other such equipment and an
access point using radio waves as long as you are within range for radio transmissions.
On the other hand, because the radio waves can travel through obstacles (such as walls) and are available everywhere
within a given range, problems of the type listed below may occur if security-related settings are not made.
• A malicious third-part may intentionally intercept and monitor transmitted data including the content of e-mail and personal
information such as your ID, password, and/or credit card numbers.
• A malicious third-party may access your personal or corporate network without authorization and engage in the following
types of behavior.
Retrieve personal and/or secret information (information leak)
Spread false information by impersonating a particular person (spoofing)
Overwrite intercepted communications and issue false data (tampering)
Spread harmful software such as a computer virus and crash your data and/or system (system crash)
Since most wireless LAN cards or access points are equipped with security features to take care of these problems, you can
reduce the possibility of these problems occurring when using this product by making the appropriate security settings for the
wireless LAN device.
Some wireless LAN devices may not be set for security immediately after purchase. To decrease the possibility of occurrence
of security problems, before using any wireless LAN devices, be absolutely sure to make all security-related settings
according to the instructions given in the operation manuals supplied with them.
Depending on the specifications of the wireless LAN, a malicious third-party may be able to break security settings by special
means.
Please contact Panasonic if you need help taking care of security settings or other such.
If you cannot perform security settings for your wireless LAN by yourself, please contact the Panasonic Support Center.
Panasonic asks customers to thoroughly understand the risk of using this product without making security settings, and
recommends that the customer make security settings at their own discretion and responsibility.
