Operating Basics
Wireless LAN disclaimer
The transmission speed over the wireless LAN and the distance over which
wireless LAN can reach may vary depending on surrounding
electromagnetic environment, obstacles, access point design and
configuration, and client design and software/hardware configurations. The
actual transmission speed will be lower than the theoretical maximum
speed.
To use the Atheros SuperAG
TM
or SuperG
TM
function, your client and
access point must support the corresponding feature. Performance of these
functions may vary depending on the format of data transmitted.
Security
1. Be sure to enable WEP(encryption) function. Otherwise you computer
will allow the illegal access by outside through Wireless LAN to cause
illegal intrusion, eavesdropping, and loss or destruction of stored data.
TOSHIBA strongly recommend the customer to enable the WEP
function.
2. TOSHIBA is not liable for the eavesdropping of data due to the use of
Wireless LAN and the damage thereof.
Wireless communication switch
You can enable or disable wireless LAN function, with the on/off switch. No
transmissions are sent or received when the switch is off. Slide the switch
forward to turn it on and backward to turn it off.
Wireless communication LED
The LED indicates the status of the wireless communication functions.
Using optical media drives
The illustrations in this section might differ slightly from your drive, but
operation is the same for all optical media drives. The full-size drive provides
high-performance execution of CD/DVD-ROM-based programs. You can
run either 12 cm (4.72") or 8 cm (3.15") CD/DVDs without an adaptor. An
ATAPI interface controller is used for CD/DVD-ROM operation. When the
computer is accessing a CD/DVD, an indicator on the drive glows.
Turn the switch off in airplanes and hospitals. Check the LED. It stops
glowing when the wireless communication function is off.
