Security of Wireless LAN
0
An advantage of wireless LAN is that instead of using a LAN cable, it
transmits information using radio waves, thus enabling LAN connection
to be established within the area covered by the radio waves. However,
as radio waves penetrate through objects (such as walls) within the range
that they cover, security issues, such as interception of transmission or
illegal access, may arise if security settings are not configured.
Before you connect to the network in a wireless LAN environment, read
through the instruction manual for the wireless LAN device in use, and
configure the security settings accordingly. Failure to do so may increase
the risk of personal information being intercepted, such as user names,
passwords, and the content of your mails, or illegal access to the network.
Due to the design of wireless LAN, note that security may be breached by
0
unusual or unforeseeable means.
For more details on wireless LAN and network security, please consult the
0
manufacturer of your wireless LAN device.
JVC shall not be liable for any security issues, troubles, damages or losses

arising from the use of this feature.

0
broadcasting stations. In this case, change the location accordingly.
Radio signals are unable to penetrate through reinforced
o
steel, metal, or concrete.
The radio waves used by this product are unable to penetrate through
reinforced steel, metal, or concrete materials.
It may difficult for communication to be established if two rooms or floors are
separated by these materials.
*Communication may also get weaker when there are human subjects or
parts of the body in between the Wi-Fi devices.
Do not connect to wireless networks that you do not have
o
authorization for.
Once connected, it may be considered as unauthorized access and legal
