Precautions when using the Wireless LAN converter (AS-WL300)
Precautions regarding wavelength
! This wireless LAN converter is designed to prevent other persons from eavesdropping on the transmitted sig-
nals, but precautions should nonetheless be taken against the chance that other persons’ could intercept and
listen to the signals transmitted. Given that this wireless LAN converter produces radio wave transmissions,
another person could deliberately use a receiver to attempt to intercept such transmissions. As a result, this
device should not be used to play important transmissions demanding privacy.
This wireless LAN converter utilizes the 2.4 GHz frequency band. This band is also used by a variety of other
devices as noted below. In particular, devices not often cognizant to the user are listed in item 2.
1 Examples of common devices utilizing the 2.4 GHz band:
! Cordless phone
! Cordless facsimile
! Microwave oven
! Wireless LAN devices (IEEE802.11b/g)
! Wireless AV device
! Wireless controllers for games
! Microwave therapeutic devices
! Bluetooth wireless technology devices
2 Other devices using 2.4 GHz:
! Shoplifting-prevention systems
! Amateur wireless radio
! Distribution control systems at factories and warehouses
! Railway and emergency vehicle wireless identification systems
When such devices are used simultaneously with this wireless LAN converter, signal interference may occur,
resulting in signal dropouts.
To improve reception quality, try the following:
! Turn off the other device emitting radio waves.
! Place the interfering device farther away (Move both the wireless LAN converter and RF adapter away from
the interfering device).
Do not use this wireless LAN converter in the following locations, since transmission interruption may result:
! Locations where another device using the same 2.4 GHz frequency is being used, such as a Bluetooth wire-
less technology device or wireless LAN, or in the vicinity where the magnetic field, static electricity, or radio
wave interference from another device may occur (depending on the environment, radio waves may not trans-
mit effectively).
! Move the radio farther away.
! If visual noise appears on the television screen, it is possible that this wireless LAN converter is producing
adverse influence on the antenna input of the television, video device, BS tuner, or CS tuner. Move this wire-
less LAN converter farther away from the antenna input of the affected device.
Usable range
! Designed for use only within private homes (signal transmission distance may be reduced due to room design
or conditions).
In the following cases, this wireless LAN converter cannot operate due to poor or erratic radio wave transmission.
! When signal transmission is blocked by a wall or floor constructed of ferro-concrete or metal.
! Nearby large metal furniture objects.
! In large crowds of people, or near obstructive buildings.
! Locations where another device using the same 2.4 GHz frequency is being used, such as a Bluetooth wireless
technology device or wireless LAN, or in the vicinity where the magnetic field, static electricity, or radio wave
interference from another device may occur.
! When living in a housing complex (apartment, condominium, etc.) where the next-door unit has a microwave
oven located near to this wireless LAN converter. Note that even a microwave oven will not interfere with this
wireless LAN converter when not in use.
! When using multiple Omni-Directional RF Remote Control in the same location.
Signal reflection
! The signals reaching the wireless LAN converter include those transmitted in a straight line from the main
unit (direct waves), and those that are received after being bounced off of walls, furniture, and other buildings
(reflected waves).
As a result, reflected waves can be generated by obstacles and other reflective objects, causing variations in
the signal quality. In such cases, try slightly changing the position of the wireless LAN converter.
CAUTION
! With the exception of cases determined by law to be the subject of legal liability, Pioneer refuses all respon-
sibility for any harm resulting to the customer or other person as a result of the use of this wireless LAN
converter.
For safe use
! Do not use near electronic devices utilizing high-precision or very delicate radio waves, since the other device
may operate incorrectly, resulting in malfunction.
Examples of devices requiring particular caution:
! Hearing aids, pacemakers and other medical or therapeutic electronic devices, fire/smoke detectors, auto-
matic door openers, other automatic devices.
! Persons using pacemakers or other medical or therapeutic electronic devices should consult the manufac-
turer or dealer of their device regarding the potential effects of radio waves from this wireless LAN converter.
! Do not use in aircraft, hospitals, or other locations where the use of radio-wave-generating devices is prohib-
ited, since adverse affects may be caused to flight communications equipment or medical devices. Follow all
precautions and directives given by medical institutions.
