Safety
Dell wireless WLAN cards, like other radio devices, emit radio frequency electromagnetic energy. The
level of energy emitted by these devices, however, is less than the electromagnetic energy emitted by
other wireless devices such as mobile phones. Dell wireless WLAN card devices operate 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 these devices may be restricted by the
proprietor of the building or responsible representatives of the applicable organization. Examples of
such situations include the following:
•
Using the Dell wireless WLAN card equipment on board airplanes, or
•
Using the Dell wireless WLAN card equipment 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 devices in a specific organization
or environment (an airport, for example), you are encouraged to ask for authorization to use the Dell
wireless WLAN card device before you turn it on.
