Wireless LAN

A
Precautions
If you use a wireless LAN, you can use a network without cable connections.
CAUTION
●
Communication is performed through the wireless LAN antenna. Do not block the
antenna area (A) with your hand or otherwise interfere with the passage of the radio
signals.
NOTE
●
The communication speeds and distances differ depending on the devices that sup-
port the wireless LAN, the installation environment and other ambient conditions.
●
One characteristic of radio waves is that their transmission rate tends to drop as the
communication distance increases. It is recommended that the devices supporting
the wireless LAN be used in close vicinity to each other.
●
The rate may drop while a microwave oven is being used.
■ Do not use wireless LAN on airplanes, in hospitals, or in
other locations where wireless LAN signals may affect
the operation of devices in the vicinity.
If you intend to use the computer in the environments described above, turn the wire-
less LAN off using the following method:
