Information to the Wireless LAN User
Wireless Interoperability
The TOSHIBA Wireless LAN Mini PCI Card products are designed to be
interoperable with any Wireless LAN product that is based on Direct
Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) radio technology, and is compliant to:
I
The IEEE 802.11 Standard on Wireless LANs (Revision B), as defined
and approved by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.
I
The Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) certification as defined by the WECA
Wireless Ethernet Compatibility Alliance.
Wireless LAN and your Health
Wireless LAN products, like other radio devices, emit radio frequency
electromagnetic 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 organisation. These situations may for example include:
I
Using the Wireless LAN equipment on board of aeroplanes, or
I
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 organisation or environment (e.g. airports), you are
encouraged to ask for authorisation to use the Wireless LAN device prior
to turning on the equipment.
