About Wireless LANs The advantage of a wireless LAN is that information can be exchanged between a PC or other such equipment and an access point using radio waves as long as you are within range for radio\ transmissions. On the other hand, because the radio waves can travel through obstacles (such as walls) and are available everywhere within a given range, problems of the type listed below may occur if security-related settings are not made. fA malicious third-part may intentionally intercept and monitor transmitted data including the content of e-mail and personal information such as your ID, password, and/or credit card numbers. fA malicious third-party may access your personal or corporate network without authorization and engage in the following types of behavior. Retrieve personal and/or secret information (information leak) Spread false information by impersonating a particular person (spoofing) Overwrite intercepted communications and issue false data (tampering) Spread harmful software such as a computer virus and crash your data and/or system (system crash) Since most wireless LAN adapters or access points are equipped with secu\ rity features to take care of these problems, you can reduce the possibility of these problems occurring when using th\ is product by making the appropriate security settings for the wireless LAN device. Some wireless LAN devices may not be set for security immediately after \ purchase. To decrease the possibility of occurrence of security problems, before using any wireless LAN devices, be absolutely sure to make all security-related settings according to the instructions given in the operation manuals su\ pplied with them. Depending on the specifications of the wireless LAN, a malicious third-party may be able to break security settings by special means. Panasonic asks customers to thoroughly understand the risk of using this\ product without making security settings, and recommends that the customer make security settings at their own discret\ ion and responsibility.
