Security

1. Be sure to enable WEP (encryption) function. Otherwise your
computer will allow the illegal access by outsider through wireless
LAN to cause illegal intrusion, eavesdropping, and loss or destruction
of stored data. TOSHIBA strongly recommend the customer to enable
the WEP function.
2. TOSHIBA is not liable for the eavesdropping of data due to the use of
wireless LAN and the damage thereof.
