About Monitor Connection Modes

The LocationFree TV Monitor has two connection modes: "Home" mode and "On the Go" mode. You

In addition, in each of these modes, the Monitor can connect wirelessly or via wired LAN.
Establishing a connection wirelessly or via a wired LAN is determined automatically depending on if
