1.10 Wireless LAN Setup
You can use the wireless LAN to update weather information and software.
Notice regarding use of wireless LAN
• The wireless LAN function is available only in the countries which have acquired radio wave certification. Turn this function off in countries which do not have radio
wave certification. Ocean-going vessels that have radio wave certification can use
the wireless LAN function in any country that has acquired radio wave certification.
Vessels with radio wave certification that enter a country that does not have radio
wave certification may use the wireless LAN function only onboard the vessel.
Available countries (as of March, 2018): USA, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Japan, and all countries of the EU.
1. SYSTEM INTRODUCTION
• The communication rate and effective range for the wireless LAN can be affected
by electromagnetic waves, interfering objects, or access point location.
• We strongly recommend using a wireless LAN with encrypted connection. Otherwise unauthorized access by a third party can occur, which can cause loss of data
or system crash.
• We recommend changing the initial password when using a local wireless network.
1. Tap the [Home] icon to show the [Home] screen, then tap [Settings] => [General]
=> [Wireless LAN].
