Wireless
LAN
Mini-PCI
Adapter
is
designed
to
be
interoperable
with
any
wireless
LAN
product
that
is
based
on
Direct
Sequence
Spread
Spectrum
(DSSS)
and/or
Orthogonal
Frequency
Division
Multiplexing
(OFDM)
radio
technology,
and
is
compliant
to:
v
The
IEEE
802.11
Standard
on
Wireless
LANs,
as
defined
and
approved
by
the
Institute
of
Electrical
and
Electronics
Engineers.
v
The
Wireless
Fidelity
(WiFi)
certification
as
defined
by
the
WECA
(Wireless
Ethernet
Compatibility
Alliance).
Usage
environment
and
your
Health
The
Wireless
LAN
Mini-PCI
Adapter
emits
radio
frequency
electromagnetic
energy
like
other
radio
devices.
However,
the
level
of
energy
emitted
is
far
less
than
the
electromagnetic
energy
emitted
by
wireless
devices
like
for
example
mobile
phones.
Because
the
Wireless
LAN
Mini-PCI
Adapter
operates
within
the
guidelines
found
in
radio
frequency
safety
standards
and
recommendations,
IBM
believes
the
integrated
wireless
cards
are
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
a
Wireless
LAN
Mini-PCI
Adapter
card
may
be
restricted
by
the
proprietor
of
the
building
or
responsible
representatives
of
the
organization.
These
situations
may
for
example
include:
v
Using
integrated
wireless
cards
on
airplanes,
or
in
hospitals
v
In
environments
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
(e.g.
airport
or
hospital),
you
are
encouraged
to
ask
for
authorization
to
use
the
Wireless
LAN
Mini-PCI
Adapter
prior
to
turning
on
the
ThinkPad
G40
computer.
