Operating Basics
Security
1. Be sure to enable WEP(encryption) function. Otherwise your computer
could be left wide open to illicit access via the Wireless LAN and may
result in an intrusion leading to the theft or even loss of stored data,
among other things. Moreover, the owner of an Internet connection is
responsible for all browsing, downloading, and uploading activities on
said connection; an unsecure Wireless network connected directly to
the Internet is an open invitation for outsiders to abuse your ISP
account privaleges. Therefore, TOSHIBA strongly recommends that
you enable the WEP function.
2. TOSHIBA is not liable for data packet theft due to the use of the
Wireless LAN, and any damage thereof.

The LED indicates the status of the wireless communication functions.
Using optical disc drives
The illustrations in this section might differ slightly from your drive, but
operation is the same for all optical disc drives. The full-size drive provides
high-performance execution of disc-based programs. You can run either
12 cm (4.72") or 8 cm (3.15") discs without an adapter. An ATAPI interface
controller is used for disc drive operation. When the computer is accessing
a disc, an indicator on the drive illuminates.
If you have a CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive, refer also to the Writing CDs on
CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive section for precautions on writing to CDs.
If you have a DVD Super Multi drive, refer also to the Writing CD/DVDs on
DVD Super Multi drive section for precautions on writing to CDs.
