Operating Basics
To use the Atheros SuperAG™ or SuperG™ function, your client and
access point must support the corresponding feature. Performance of
these functions may vary depending on the format of data transmitted.

Security

1. Be sure to enable WEP(encryption) function. Otherwise your computer
could be left wide open to illicit access via the Wireless LAN and may
result in an intrusion leading to the theft or even loss of stored data,
among other things. Moreover, the owner of an Internet connection is
responsible for all browsing, downloading, and uploading activities on
said connection; an unsecure Wireless network connected directly to
the Internet is an open invitation for outsiders to abuse your ISP
account privileges. Therefore, TOSHIBA strongly recommends that you
enable the WEP function.
2. TOSHIBA is not liable for data packet theft due to the use of the
Wireless LAN, and any damage thereof.

Bluetooth wireless technology

Bluetooth™ wireless technology eliminates the need for cables between
electronic devices such as desktop computers, printers and mobile phones.
You cannot use the built-in Bluetooth functions and an optional Bluetooth
device simultaneously.
Bluetooth wireless technology has the following features:

Worldwide operation

The Bluetooth radio transmitter and receiver operate in the 2.4 GHz band,
which is license-free and compatible with radio systems in most countries
in the world.

Radio links

You can easily establish links between two or more devices. The link is
maintained even if the devices are not within line of sight.
Security
Two advanced security mechanisms ensure a high level of security:
■
Authentication prevents access to critical data and makes it impossible
to falsify the origin of a message.
■
Encryption prevents eavesdropping and maintains link privacy.
