Safety
The Dell Wireless WLAN Card, like other radio devices, emits radio frequency
electromagnetic energy. The level of energy emitted by this device, however, is less than
the electromagnetic energy emitted by other wireless devices such as mobile phones. The
Dell Wireless WLAN Card wireless device operates within the guidelines found in radio
frequency safety 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 Dell Wireless WLAN Card
wireless 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 wireless device before you turn it on.
Explosive Device Proximity Warning:
