How to Handle This Device

The WLAN device comes pre-installed in your mobile computer. Under normal circumstances, it should not be necessary for you to remove or re-install it. The Oper- ating System that your mobile computer comes with has been pre-configured to support the WLAN device.

■The Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG WLAN device sup- ports IEEE802.11a, IEEE802.11b and IEEE802.11g.

■Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN (4965AGN) device supports IEEE802.11a, IEEE802.11b, IEEE802.11g, and IEEE802.11n (draft).

■The WLAN device operates in the 2.4GHz ISM band and the 5 GHz lower, middle, and upper UNII bands.

■Microwave ovens may interfere with the operation of WLAN devices since they operate in the same 2.4GHz frequency range as IEEE802.11b/g/n devices. Interfer- ence by microwaves does not occur with IEEE802.11a radio which operates in the 5 GHz RF band.

■Wireless devices that transmit in the 2.4GHz range may interfere with operation of WLAN devices in IEEE802.11b/g/n modes. Symptoms of interference include reduced throughput, intermittent disconnects, and many frame errors. It is HIGHLY recommended that these interfering devices be powered off to ensure proper operation of the WLAN device.

DEACTIVATING THE WLAN DEVICE

Deactivation of the WLAN device may be desired in certain circumstances (to extend battery life) or where certain environments require it (i.e. hospitals, clinics, airplanes, etc.). To deactivate the WLAN device, use the Wireless On/Off Switch.

Deactivation using the Wireless On/Off Switch

The WLAN device can be deactivated quickly and effi- ciently by sliding the Wireless On/Off Switch to the Off position. (Figure A-3)

The wireless On/Off switch has no effect on non-Wire- less LAN models.

ACTIVATING THE WLAN DEVICE

Activation of the WLAN device can be accomplished using the same methods as the deactivation process, by using the Wireless On/Off Switch”
