8.11 Wireless adapter regulatory information


Warning: For safety reasons, turn off all wireless or radio transmitting devices when
using your device under the following conditions.
Remember to follow any special regulations in force in any area, and always switch off your
device when its use is prohibited or when it may cause interference or danger. Use the device
only in its normal operating positions. This device meets RF exposure guidelines when used
normally. To successfully transmit data files or messages, this device requires a good quality
connection to the network. In some cases, transmission of data files or messages may be
delayed until such a connection is available. Parts of the device are magnetic. Metallic materials
may be attracted to the device, and persons with hearing aids should not hold the device to the
ear with the hearing aid. Do not place credit cards or other magnetic storage media near the
device, because information stored on them may be erased.
Aircraft
Warning
FCC and FAA regulations may prohibit airborne operation of radio-frequency wireless devices
(wireless adapters) because their signals could interfere with critical aircraft instruments. Ask the airport staff
and cabin crew before turning on your device's wireless adapter whilst on board.
The wireless adapter and your health
The wireless adapter, like other radio devices, emits radio frequency electromagnetic energy.
The level of energy emitted by the wireless adapter, however, is less than the electromagnetic
energy emitted by other wireless devices such as mobile phones. The wireless adapter operates
within the guidelines found in radio frequency safety standards and recommendations. 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 the wireless
adapter may be restricted by the proprietor of the building or responsible representatives of the
applicable organization. Examples of such situations may include:
• Using the wireless adapter on board airplanes, or
• Using the wireless adapter in any other environment where the risk of interference with other
devices or services is perceived or identified as being harmful.
If you are uncertain of the policy that applies to the use of wireless adapters in a specific
organization or environment (an airport, for example), you are encouraged to ask for
authorization to use the adapter before you turn it on.
