Notes on Wireless LAN Connection

This product has not been confirmed to work with all wireless LAN devices, and operation with all wireless
LAN devices is not guaranteed.

Notes on Wireless LAN Security

The following are important matters concerning your rights (privacy protection).
Instead of using LAN cables, wireless LANs use radio waves to exchange information, which has the advantage
of allowing free LAN connections within the range of the radio waves. On the other hand, radio waves can
reach anywhere within a certain range, even over obstacles (walls, etc.), so if no security settings are made, the
following problems may occur.
Having your information stolen
There is a possibility that a malicious third party may intentionally intercept radio waves and steal personal
information such as IDs, passwords or credit card numbers, as well as communication contents such as the con-
tents of emails.
Access from unauthorized users
A malicious third party may gain unauthorized access to your personal or company network to do the following.
• Taking out personal or confidential information (information leakage)
• Communicating by impersonating a specific person and distributing fraudulent information (spoofing)
• Rewriting and sending intercepted communications (tampering)
• Destroy data and systems by spreading computer viruses, etc. (Destruction)
Essentially, wireless LAN cards and wireless access points have a security mechanism to deal with these prob-
lems, so by using the product with the settings related to the security of the wireless LAN product, the possibil-
ity of such problems occurring will be reduced. It is recommended that you fully understand the problems that
may occur if you do not configure the security settings, and use the product after configuring the security set-
tings at your own discretion and responsibility.
