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:
❖ The IEEE 802.11 Standard on Wireless LANs (Revision B), as defined and
approved by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.
❖ The Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi™) 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
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.
