This product, like other radio devices, emits radio frequency electromagnetic energy. The level of energy emitted by this product
however is far much less than the electromagnetic energy emitted
by wireless devices like for example mobile phones.
Because this product operates within the guidelines found in radio
frequency safety standards and recommendations, we believe this
product is safe for use by consumers. These standards and recommendations reflect the consensus of the scientific community and
result from deliberations of panels and committees of scientists who
continually review and interpret the extensive research literature.
In some situations or environments, the use of this product may be
restricted by the proprietor of the building or responsible representatives of the organization. These situations may for example include:
Using this product on board of airplanes, or
In any other environment where the risk of interference to other
devices or services is perceived or identified as harmful.

Wireless LAN
If you use a wireless LAN, you can use a network without cable connections.
CAUTION
z Communication is performed through the wireless LAN antenna. Do not block the
antenna area with your hand or otherwise interfere with the passage of the radio
signals.
NOTE
z The communication speeds and distances differ depending on the devices that
support the wireless LAN, the installation environment and other ambient conditions.
z One characteristic of radio waves is that their transmission rate tends to drop as the
communication distance increases. It is recommended that the devices supporting
the wireless LAN be used in close vicinity to each other.
z The rate may drop while a microwave oven is being used.
Windows XP
z Do not use the Fast User Switching function.
Precautions
„ Do not use wireless LAN on airplanes, in hospitals, or in other
locations where wireless LAN signals may affect the operation
of devices in the vicinity.

If the function fails to operate correctly
Read the operating instructions for the access point carefully and check the settings.
„ The access point fails to be displayed in [Available Networks]
z Select the profile you are using, and select [Advanced] in [Networks]. [Connect to ad hoc
networks only] may have been selected in [Connection preference]. In this case, select
[Connect to infrastructure and ad hoc networks].
z This computer uses channels 1 through 11*1. Check the channel being used.
*1
In the case of wireless communications, the frequency band being used can be divided into
segments, so that different communications can be conducted on each band segment. A "Channel"
refers to the individual frequency bandwidth divisions.
„ The access point cannot be accessed
z The network key setting may not conform to the access point.
Check the network key setting of the access point and, if necessary, set it again correctly.
z Depending on the access point and settings, access may not be accepted unless the
computer's MAC address is registered beforehand. In this case, check the computer's
MAC address using the following procedure and register it according to the operating
instructions of the access point.
