When using a wireless LAN, precautions must be taken regarding the radio waves, personal information, and other things that must be observed. Be sure to carefully read the following information and the operation manual of the wireless LAN being used and then use the wireless LAN correctly.

GENERAL Inc. shall in no way be responsible for any damages sustained through the use of this product when it has been used incorrectly by the customer or a third party, and a failure has occurred during use, or for any other reason except when liability for damages is recognized by law.

Radio wave-related usage precautions

GENERAL Inc. wireless LAN adapter has received Construction Design Certification as radio equipment for a radio station in low-power data communication systems in accordance with the Radio Act. Therefore, a radio station license is not required to use this wireless LAN adapter. In addition, GENERAL Inc. wireless LAN adapter can only be used within Japan.

• Do not use IEEE802.11b/g/n-compliant products in the following locations. Communication may be unstable or interrupted.

  • Magnetic fields, static electricity, or radio interference in the vicinity of the microwave oven.
  • Close to equipment that uses radio waves close to the 2.4GHz frequency (this could cause poor reception).

Security-related usage precautions

• When using wireless LAN equipment, there is the possibility the communication will be intercepted regardless of whether or not an encryption setting is used.

• The wireless LAN uses radio waves to exchange information between this product and a wireless LAN router, which provides the advantage of being able to freely connect to a LAN as long as it is within the range of the radio waves. Conversely, the radio waves will pass through barriers (walls, etc.) and reach all areas within a certain range, so there is a possibility the communicated information could be stolen or subject to unauthorized access, etc.

• When setting to a wireless connection, do not connect to equipment or networks that do not use usage authorization.

• To ensure the security of the product, update the firmware of the wireless LAN adapter. Updating the firmware helps to prevent unauthorized access and security breaches from external sources. To ensure that you always have the latest firmware, we recommend setting the firmware update to "Automatic Update".
  For details on how to update the firmware, see "Firmware information".
• If the firmware is not updated properly, there is a risk that unauthorized access by a third party could lead to leakage of configuration information or improper operation of the product.
• When handing the air conditioner or wireless LAN adapter over to a third party, disposing of them, or otherwise handing them over to someone other than the customer, initialize the settings of the wireless LAN adapter. If the wireless LAN adapter is not initialized, there is a risk that personal information (such as network setting information) may be illegally read or that unauthorized access may occur.
  For details on how to initialize it, refer to the air conditioner operation manual.
