Note
• When a connection to a wireless hotspot is successfully performed, certain types of
wireless hotspots, such as commercial service providers’ hotspots, require additional
log-in processes using the unit’s Web Browser. In order to assist determining if the
connected wireless hotspot requires such steps, the unit tries to access a specific
Website. For the details about this test access, please see below:
Access address for connection type detection: http://www.sony.com/mylo/test; the Web
address contains a simple static HTML page used for the test purposes only. There is no
personal or network information sent from the unit. The Web server provided by Sony
will not collect any information about the unit or the user.
