Operating Basics

■

Be sure to enable WEP (encryption) function. Otherwise your computer 

will allow the illegal access by outsider through wireless LAN to cause 

illegal instruction, eavesdropping, and loss or destruction of stored data. 

TOSHIBA strongly recommends the customer to enable the WEP 

function.

■

TOSHIBA is not liable for the eavesdropping of data due to the use of 

Wireless LAN and the damage thereof.

Bluetooth wireless technology

Bluetooth™ wireless technology eliminates the need for cables between 

electronic devices such as desktop computers, printers and mobile phones. 

You cannot use the built-in Bluetooth functions and an optional Bluetooth 

PC Card simultaneously.
Bluetooth wireless technology has the following features:

The Bluetooth radio transmitter and receiver operates in the 2.45 GHz 

band, which is license-free and compatible with radio systems in most 

countries in the world.

You can easily establish links between two or more devices. The link is 

maintained even if the devices are not within line of sight.

Two advanced security mechanisms ensure a high level of security:

■

Authentication prevents access to critical data and makes it impossible 

to falsify the origin of a message.

■

Encryption prevents eavesdropping and maintains link privacy.

Wireless communication switch

You can enable or disable Wireless LAN and Bluetooth functions, with the 

on/off switch. No transmissions are sent or received when the switch is off. 

Slide the switch toward the left of the computer to turn it on and toward the 

right of the computer to turn it off.

Turn the computer off when you enter an airplane and check the carrier’s 

regulations before you use a computer on board.
