interoperable with any Wireless LAN product that is based on Direct Sequence
Spread Spectrum (DSSS) radio technology, and is compliant to:

approved by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.
The Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) certification as defined by the WECA Wireless

Wireless LAN and your Health
Wireless LAN products, like other radio devices, emit radio frequency electromag-
netic energy. The level of energy emitted by Wireless LAN devices however is far
much less than the electromagnetic energy emitted by wireless devices like for
example mobile phones.
Because Wireless LAN products operate within the guidelines found in radio
frequency safety standards and recommendations, TOSHIBA believes Wireless
LAN is safe for use by consumers. These standards and recommendations reflect
the consensus of the scientific community and result from deliberations of panels
and committees of scientists who continually review and interpret the extensive
research literature.
In some situations or environments, the use of Wireless LAN may be restricted by
the proprietor of the building or responsible representatives of the organization.
These situations may for example include:
Using the Wireless LAN equipment on board of airplanes, or
In any other environment where the risk of interference to other devices or
services is perceived or identified as harmful.
If you are uncertain of the policy that applies on the use of wireless devices in a
specific organization or environment (e.g. airports), you are encouraged to ask for
authorization to use the Wireless LAN device prior to turning on the equipment.
