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

Bluetooth wireless technology

Bluetooth™ wireless technology eliminates the need for cables between electronic
devices such as desktop computers, printers and mobile phones. You cannot use
the built-in Bluetooth functions and an optional Bluetooth PC card simultaneously.
Bluetooth wireless technology has the following features:

Worldwide operation

The Bluetooth radio transmitter and receiver operates in the 2.45 GHz band, which
is license-free and compatible with radio systems in most countries in the world.

Radio links

You can easily establish links between two or more devices. The link is main-
tained even if the devices are not within line of sight.
Security
Two advanced security mechanisms ensure a high level of security:
Authentication prevents access to critical data and makes it impossible to
falsify the origin of a message.
Encryption prevents eavesdropping and maintains link privacy.

Wireless communication switch

You can enable or disable Wireless LAN and Bluetooth functions, with the on/off
switch. No transmissions are sent or received when the switch is off. Slide the
switch toward the left of the computer to turn it on and toward the right of the
computer to turn it off.
CAUTION: Set the switch to off in airplanes and hospitals. Check
the indicator. It will stop glowing when the wireless communication
function is off.
Turn the computer off when you enter an airplane and check the carrier's regula-
tions before you use a computer on board.
