Notes about Wireless LAN
(WLAN)
Wireless LAN (WLAN) uses radio waves to
enable communications between compatible
devices, thus allowing connection to a local
area network from anywhere within range.
However, there is a risk of data interception
by malicious third parties unless security is
established. Users are advised to assess their
responsibilities and accordingly configure
security settings.
■ Wireless LAN
Do not use wireless LAN near magnetic
devices such as electrical appliances or AV/
OA devices, or in radio waves.
- Magnetism or radio waves may increase
noises or disable communications
(especially when using a microwave oven).
- When using near TV, radio, etc., reception
interference may occur, or channels on the
TV screen may be disturbed.
- If there are multiple wireless LAN access
points nearby and the same channel is
used, search may not work correctly.
- For using WLAN overseas, point of use etc.
may be restricted depending on country.
In that case, confirm conditions such as
available frequency or regulations of the
country to use it.
■ 2.4 GHz Device Cautions
In the WLAN device frequency band, in
addition to home electric appliances such as
a microwave oven and industrial/scientific/
medical devices, in-plant radio stations
for identification of mobile objects used in
production lines of a factory (a license is
required), specified low power radio stations
(a license is not required), or amateur radio
stations (a license is required) can be in
operation.
1. Before using the device, confirm that
premises radio stations for identifying
mobile units, specified low power radio
stations and amateur radio stations are
not being operated nearby.
