Operating Basics
Security
1. TOSHIBA strongly recommends that you enable 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.

Worldwide operation
The Bluetooth radio transmitter and receiver operate in the 2.4GHz band,
which is license-free and compatible with radio systems in most countries

You can easily establish links between two or more devices. The link is
maintained even if the devices are not within line of sight.
Security
