Wi-Fi (Wireless LAN) Precautions • The camera’s model number is PC2009/ PC2060/PC2008 (including WLAN module model WM219). To identify your model, check the label on the bottom of the camera for a number beginning with PC. • Countries and Regions Permitting WLAN Use Use of WLAN is restricted in some countries and regions, and illegal use may be punishable under national or local regulations. To avoid violating WLAN regulations, visit the Canon website to check where use is allowed.
Security Precautions Because Wi-Fi 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 Wi-Fi. • Only use networks you are authorized to use. This product searches for Wi-Fi networks in the vicinity and displays the results on the screen. Networks you are not authorized to use (unknown networks) may also be displayed.
