Notes on Using the Wi-Fi(R) (Wireless LAN) Function
Before using the Wi-Fi function, read the following precautions for correct use.

regulations.
Wi-Fi devices work on the 2.4 GHz band, which is used by a variety of devices. They use the
technology to minimize radio interference from other devices that use the same band;
however, radio interference may still slow communication speeds, reduce communication
range, or cause communication failure.

If your VAIO computer is equipped with the IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n standard, outdoor use of the
5 GHz Wi-Fi function is prohibited by law.
The communication speed and range may vary depending on the following conditions:
