Security Precautions

Because a wireless LAN uses radio waves to
transmit signals, security precautions more
stringent than when using a LAN cable are
required.
Keep the following points in mind when using
a wireless LAN.
Only use networks you are authorized to

use.
This product searches for wireless LAN
networks in the vicinity and displays the
results on the screen. Networks you are not
authorized to use (unknown networks) may
also be displayed. However, attempting to
connect to or using such networks could be
regarded as unauthorized access. Be sure to
use only networks you are authorized to use,
and do not attempt to connect to other
unknown networks.
If security settings have not been properly
set, the following problems may occur.
Transmission monitoring

Third parties with malicious intent may
monitor the wireless LAN transmissions and
attempt to acquire the data you are sending.
Unauthorized network access

Third parties with malicious intent may gain
unauthorized access to the network you are
using to steal, modify, or destroy information.
Additionally, you could fall victim to other
types of unauthorized access such as
impersonation (where someone assumes an
identity to gain access to unauthorized
information) or springboard attacks (where
someone gains unauthorized access to your
network as a springboard to cover their
tracks when infiltrating other systems).
To prevent these types of problems from
occurring, be sure to thoroughly secure your
wireless LAN network.
Only use this product's wireless LAN function
with a proper understanding of the wireless
LAN security, and balance risk and
convenience when adjusting security
settings.
