Notes on Using Wireless Connection

Wireless equipment that has obtained a certificate of conformity is supplied with this unit. Wireless connection function of the unit uses radio waves in the 2.4 GHz band. A radio station license is not required, but be sure to read and fully understand the following items before use.

Do not use near other wireless equipment.

The following equipment may use radio waves in the same band as the unit. When the unit is used near these devices, radio wave interference may make communication impossible, or the communication speed may become slower.

• Microwave ovens, etc.

• Industrial, chemical and medical equipment, etc.

• In-plant radio stations for identifying moving objects such as those used in factory manufacturing lines, etc.

• Designated low-power radio stations

If at all possible, avoid the use of cellular phones, TV sets or radios near the unit

Cellular phones, TV sets, radios and similar devices use different radio bands from communication or the transmission and reception of these devices. However, radio waves from the unit may produce audio or video noise.

Wireless communication radio waves cannot penetrate steel reinforcements, metal, concrete,

etc.

Communication is possible through walls and floors made from materials such as wood and glass (except glass containing wire mesh), but not through walls and floors made from steel reinforcements, metal, concrete, etc.

Using the unit outside the country

It is forbidden to take the unit outside the country or region where you purchased it, so use it only in the said country or region. Also, note that depending on countries or regions there are restrictions on the channels and frequencies at which you can use the wireless LAN.

Security Notes

This device uses radio waves to establish a wireless connection between the PC and display. Although this device employs security measures, this security is not perfect due to the properties of radio waves. Check the points below to ensure maximum security.

• When multiple devices are installed, if you select the wrong connection in the Select Connection screen, the data can be revealed to a third party. Be sure to check that the connection is correct.

• This device has the security measures (WEP. WPA) described above. The possibility of security problems occurring is reduced by making security settings.
