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