Appendix B. Wireless related information

Wireless LAN Mini-PCIAdapter is designed to be interoperable with any

wireless LAN product that is based on Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum

(DSSS) radio technology,and is compliant to:

vThe IEEE 802.11 Standard on WirelessLANs, as defined and approved by

the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.

vThe Wireless Fidelity (WiFi)certification as defined by the WECA (Wireless

Ethernet Compatibility Alliance).

The Wireless LAN Mini-PCIAdapter 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-PCIAdapter 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 WirelessLAN 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:

vUsing integrated wireless cards on airplanes, or in hospitals

vIn 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-PCIAdapter prior to turning on

the ThinkPad G40 computer.
