About Wireless LANs
With a wireless LAN, information is exchanged between a PC or other such equipment and an access point using radio
waves rather than using a LAN cable. The advantage of a wireless connection is that it is possible to freely connect to the
LAN as long as you are within range for radio transmissions. On the other hand, because the radio waves can travel through
obstacles (such as walls) and are available everywhere within a given range, problems of the type listed below may occur if
security-related settings are not made.
Surreptitious monitoring of transmitted data
A malicious third-party may intentionally intercept and monitor transmitted data including the content of e-mail and
personal information such as your ID, password, and/or credit card numbers.
Illegal system entry
A malicious third-party may access your personal or corporate network without authorization and engage in the following
type of behavior.
• Retrieve personal and/or secret information (information leak)
• Spread false information by impersonating a particular person (spoofing)
• Overwrite intercepted communications and issue false data (tampering)
• Spread harmful software such as a computer virus and crash your data and/or system (system crash)
Since most wireless LAN devices (wireless LAN card or access point) are equipped with security features to take care
of these problems, you can reduce the possibility of these problems occurring when using this product by making the
appropriate security settings for the wireless LAN device.
Some wireless LAN devices may not be set for security immediately after purchase. To decrease the possibility of occurrence
of security problems, before using any wireless LAN devices, be absolutely sure to make all security-related settings
according to the instructions given in the operation manuals supplied with them.
Depending on the specifications of the wireless LAN, a malicious third-party may be able to break security settings by special
means.
Please contact Panasonic if you need help taking care of security settings or other such.
Panasonic asks customers to thoroughly understand the risk of using this product without making security settings, and
recommends that the customer make security settings at their own discretion and responsibility.
