Security
1. TOSHIBA strongly recommends that you enable the WPA encryption
function otherwise your computer could be left open to illicit access via
the wireless LAN connection which may result in an intrusion that can
lead to the theft or loss of stored data among other things. In addition,
the owner of an Internet connection is responsible for all browsing,
downloading, and uploading activities on that connection. Therefore, an
unsecured wireless network connected directly to the Internet is an
open invitation for outsiders to abuse your ISP account and privileges.
2. TOSHIBA is not liable for the eavesdropping on your data due to the
use of the wireless LAN connection and any damage that may occur
thereof.

You can enable or disable the Wireless devices 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 disc drives
The illustrations in this section might differ slightly from your drive, but
operation is the same for all optical disc drives. The full-size drive provides
high-performance execution of disc-based programs. You can run either
12 cm (4.72") or 8 cm (3.15") discs without an adapter. An ATAPI interface
controller is used for disc drive operation. When the computer is accessing
a disc, an indicator on the drive illuminates.
Wake-up on LAN does not function on a Wireless LAN.
Turn the switch off in airplanes and hospitals. Check the LED, it stops
glowing when the wireless communication function is off.
