    If a security problem occurs, the product may be affected by malware (malicious software) resulting in the risk of theft or falsification of personal information or content. In addition, you can cause unintentional harm to network services if the device is affected.

    *1 Check with your apartment manager or internet service provider to determine whether your outlet device for network lines has a router function.
