Notes on security in use of wireless LAN products
The wireless LAN is advantageous to allow LAN connection freely within the radio wave range
because data is transmitted among wireless access points including computers through radio
waves instead of using LAN cables.
On the other hand, since radio waves reach any locations over obstacles (including walls)
within a certain range, the following problems may occur without security.
Stealing communication data
Malicious outsiders may intentionally intercept radio waves to steal communication
data as follows:
Personal information including IDs, passwords and credit card numbers
Mail contents
Invading into network illegally
Malicious outsiders may access to personal and corporate networks without notice to
take the following actions:
Acquiring private and confidential information (information leak)
Make communication as a specific person to spread illegal information (spoofing)
Rewrites intercepted communication data to be transmitted (falsification)
Spread computer virus to destroy data and/or systems (destruction)
Security-related setting to address the above issues is provided for wireless LAN cards and
wireless access points of this product. It is recommended to use the product with the security
setting at your discretion and under your own responsibility after thoroughly understanding the

Notes on Use of N22A in FA Environment
Note the following particularly to allow N22A to be used in FA environments.
(1) Dust-proof and drip-proof and performance
N22A is designed to have high seal performance to prevent liquid and dust from being
entered into it from any directions.
N22A can be used outdoor if it rains and handled with wet and/or dirt hands.
With optional dust-proof and drop-proof cables (FC-SC01N/FC-SC02N/FC-SC03N),
N22A has drip-proof and dust-proof performance conforming to IP54 if it connects with
one or more external devices.
To make dust-proof performance effective, the connector, HDD, battery and memory
covers must be closed appropriately.
N22A should be provided with maintenance including water wiping and drying so that
N22A does not be left wet for a long period.
In addition, place and operate N22A with its bottom facing downward.
19
IP54
Dust-proof performance:
Protection class IP5x means that a device of the class cannot completely avoid entry of dust
but the dust do not interrupt the defined operations and safety of the device.
Drip-proof performance:
Protection class Ipx4 means that a device of the class is not affected by spray from every
angle (by a spray nozzle).
Use optional dust-proof and drip-proof cables (FC-SC01N/FC-SC02N/FC-SC03N) as
connection cables for the LAN, serial, or USB ports. For the power connector or PC slot cover,
use an optional dust-proof, drip-proof cover (FC-SC04N/FC-SC05N).
For other connection ports, securely close the connector covers during operation.
(2) Operating temperature range
N22A of wide temperature type can operate in the temperature range between -20ºC
and 50ºC while N22A of other types operate in temperature range between 5ºC and
45ºC.
To allow N22A to be used in the wide temperature range (-20 to 50ºC), the main unit,
HDD and battery should all be available in the wide temperature range.
In environment at a high temperature, the main unit may be heated. If so, wear gloves
not to make your hands contact with the unit directly.
To suppress heat generation, the performance of N22A may be restricted automatically.
In environment at a low temperature, the battery driving time is shortened.
In addition, the LCD display can make responses slower.
(3) Shock resistance
(4) Vibration resistance
(5) Continuous operation of N22A for long period
N22A in the tablet mode or the battery charging state should be used in ambient temperature
range 5 to 40ºC.
The AC adapter can be used where the ambient temperature is -20ºC to 50ºC.
Note that, if a hard disk drive (wide temperature range type: FC-HD40KN/S) and replacement
battery (wide temperature range type: FC-BP01N/W) are mounted in models other than wide
temperature range types, they cannot be used in a wide temperature range (-20ºC to 50ºC).
The chassis of N22A is made of magnesium die-casting alloy and equipped with a hard
disk drive subjected to shock resistance.
N22A is designed to have the strength of enduring the test in which it is dropped from a
height of 90 cm to plywood or concrete floor.
When relocating the product, close the LCD panel display and fix the latches.
This product has excellent shock-proof characteristics, but prevention of damage or failure is not
guaranteed.
N22A damaged by shocks may reduce its dust-proof and drop-proof performance as well as the
shock resistance. Accordingly, it is recommend to repair damaged N22A.
The vibration resistance of N22A does not assure that it has sufficient strength against
resonance generated when added vibration is close to the natural frequency of N22A.
If N22A is operated continuously for a long period, deterioration of life parts in N22A may
be accelerated. Therefore, NEC may charge the repair of N22A defected due to
continuous operation for a long period within the warranty period.
20
When using the LCD in the hig h brightness condition for a long time, it is recommended
to set the backlight to automatically turn off when a specified time has elapsed, via the
power management control of the OS (Windows). The backlight will degrade earlier in
a high-temperature environment. Also, use of a silicon disk is recommended.
When using a hard disk drive, periodically shut down the computer so that the HDD will
stop operating, to reduce degradation due to continuous operation.
Operation sample:
The power management may be set by OS (Windows) to halt the HDD automatically if
accessing to hard disks does not occur for a certain period:
Period set at shipment : 30 minutes (when N22A is connected to AC power)
Recommended period : 3 minutes (when N22A is connected to AC power)
The number of writes to a silicon disk is restricted. See “Consumables and End-of-Life
Products” in “CHAPTER 6 MAINTENANCE” for details.
For health
The following explains recommendations to be noted for your health when using this product.
It is said that long-term work with a computer can lead to accumulated fatigue, causing eye fatigue,
a heavy-head feeling, blurred vision, or neck numbness or pain, from the shoulders to the fingers.
Maintain a good posture and properly adjust the devices when using a computer. Rest appropriately,
about 10 to 15 minutes every hour, and exercise to prevent further fatigue.
Preferable working posture
It is recommended to operate a computer, while feeling relaxed without excessive intension.
Seated with your back against the seat back so that your back is supported

Pack 2) Japanese / English
1: See “Selection Menu Table” for type names and numbers.
2: N22A includes a control feature enabling the CPU to operate dynamically depending on use environments and
loads.
3: In any OS environment other than preinstalled OS environment, the expanded IntelSpeedStep feature may be
unavailable.
4: The security chip is unavailable to any OS other than preinstalled Windows XP Professional.
5: The capacity of a memory board can be selected out of 512MB, 1GB, 2GB, and 4GB on the selection menu.
6: Replacement of an expanded RAM board is enabled only on a single slot. The maximum memory capacity
can be installed if memory of 2GB or larger is selected.
If memory of less than 2GB is selected, the maximum memory capacity is “selected memory capacity” +
2GB.
7: The LCD display is manufactured based on extremely high-precise technology. However, dot drops (such as
negligible black points and red, blue or green points always illuminating) may appear on a part of the screen.
In addition, color and/or brightness irregularities may appear depending on view angles. These are caused by
characteristics of LCD displays and do not indicate any defects.
8: The touch panel is unavailable under USB locking.
9: The base dot drop rate is calculated in sub-pixels according to the standard of ISO13406-2.
See http://www.express.nec.co.jp/products/pc/lcddot.html for details.(As of May 2008)
10: The feature allows an external display for desktop screen to be different from the LCD display of N22A.
11: 16.77 million color display is accomplished by the dithering feature of graphic accelerator.
12: N22A has the resolution and the number of colors. However, N22A cannot realize them depending on the
resolution and refresh rate of the connected display. The LCD display on N22A and the external display
connected to N22A can display the same screen. However, if the enlarged display feature is not used, display
