wireless LAN service access point to use mails and Internet.

Reception interference caused by Bluetooth devices
The terminal's wireless LAN device and Bluetooth devices use the same
frequency band (2.4 GHz). If you use the terminal near a Bluetooth device,
reception interference may occur or the communication speed may become
lower. Also, you may hear noise or have a connection problem. In these cases,
do the following:
1. Keep the wireless LAN device over approximately 20 m away from a
Bluetooth device.
2. Within approximately 20 m, turn off the Bluetooth device.
Information
• Packet communication can also be used even when Wi-Fi function
is ON. However, Wi-Fi will be used first during Wi-Fi connection. If
Wi-Fi network is disconnected, network is automatically switched
to LTE/3G/GSM. Be noticed that packet communication charge is
applied if you keep using LTE/3G/GSM network after toggling.
• Connect to a Wi-Fi network that requires user authentication, and
if the user authentication is unestablished when is displayed,
communications may be carried out not by Wi-Fi, but rather via a
mobile network.
To perform Wi-Fi communications via these kinds of access points,
set the "Smart network switch" to OFF when making connections
with access points.
