Security
■
TOSHIBA strongly recommend that you enable encryption functionality,
otherwise your computer will be open to illegal access by an outsider
using a wireless connection. If this occurs, the outsider may illegally
access your system, eavesdrop, or cause the loss or destruction of
stored data.
■
TOSHIBA is not liable for the loss of data due to eavesdropping or
illegal access through the wireless LAN and the damage thereof.
Bluetooth wireless technology
Bluetooth™ wireless technology eliminates the need for cables between
your PC and other electronic devices, for example, printers and mobile
phones.
You cannot use the computer's built-in Bluetooth functions and an external
Bluetooth adaptor simultaneously.
Worldwide operation
The Bluetooth radio transmitter and receiver operate in the 2.4GHz 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, with these
links being maintained even if the devices are not within a line-of-sight of
each other.
■
The transmission speed over the wireless LAN, and the distance over
which the wireless LAN can reach, may vary depending on surrounding
electromagnetic environment, obstacles, access point design and
configuration, client design and software/hardware configurations. The
transmission rate described is the theoretical maximum speed as
specified under the appropriate standard - the actual transmission
speed will be lower than the theoretical maximum speed.
■
To enable or disable wireless communication, use the Hot Key
FN + F8. For more information see the
section in Chapter 5.
Each time you restart or reboot your computer, wireless
communication is reset to enabled (ON) by default.
The use of Handsfree/Headset Bluetooth devices is not officially
supported by TOSHIBA.
In case of a problem when using a Bluetooth headset in conjunction with
communication software, restart your computer to resolve the problem.
