Security

Two advanced security mechanisms ensure a high level of security:

■ Authentication prevents access to critical data and makes it impossible

to falsify the origin of a message.

■ Encryption prevents eavesdropping and maintains link privacy.

You can enable or disable Wireless communication (Wireless LAN and

Bluetooth) functions with hot keys (FN + F8). No transmissions are sent or

received when wireless communication is turned off.

fire detectors. Radio waves can cause malfunction of such equipment,

possibly resulting in serious injury.
