the illegal access by outsider through wireless LAN to cause illegal instruc-
tion, eavesdropping, and loss or destruction of stored data. TOSHIBA
strongly recommends the customer to enable the encryption function.
TOSHIBA is not liable for the eavesdropping of data due to the use of Wire-
less LAN and the damage thereof.

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 Adapter 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.
