Cautions on security with wireless LANs

For information on security when using wireless LAN devices, refer to the wireless LAN device’s instructions.

With wireless LAN devices and wireless LAN access points, there is a risk that malicious third parties could intercept the radio

waves and secretively view passwords, condential information and other contents of communications.

Please note that PLUS will accept no responsibility whatsoever for any damages incurred from problems in security due to

failure to take the necessary security measures or from circumstances that are unavoidable for reasons of the wireless LAN

device’s speci cations.
