Wireless Guidance

Low power, Radio LAN type devices (radio frequency (RF) wireless communication

devices), operating in the 2.4 GHz Band, may be present (embedded) in your notebook

system. The following section is a general overview of considerations while operating

a wireless device.

Additional limitations, cautions, and concerns for specific countries are listed in the

specific country sections (or country group sections). The wireless devices in your

system are only qualified for use in the countries identified by the Radio Approval

Marks on the system rating label. If the country you will be using the wireless device

in, is not listed, please contact your local Radio Approval agency for requirements.

Wireless devices are closely regulated and use may not be allowed.

The power output of the wireless device or devices that may be embedded in your

notebook is well below the RF exposure limits as known at this time. Because the

wireless devices (which may be embedded into your notebook) emit less energy than

is allowed in radio frequency safety standards and recommendations, manufacturer

believes these devices are safe for use. Regardless of the power levels, care should be

taken to minimize human contact during normal operation.

As a general guideline, a separation of 20 cm (8 inches) between the wireless device

and the body, for use of a wireless device near the body (this does not include

extremities) is typical. This device should be used more than 20 cm (8 inches) from the

body when wireless devices are on and transmitting.

This transmitter must not be collocated or operate in conjunction with any other

antenna or transmitter.

Some circumstances require restrictions on wireless devices. Examples of common

restrictions are listed below:

Radio frequency wireless communication can interfere with equipment on

commercial aircraft. Current aviation regulations require wireless devices to be

turned off while traveling in an airplane. 802.11B (also known as wireless

Ethernet or Wifi) and Bluetooth communication devices are examples of

devices that provide wireless communication.

Regulatory Compliance Statements vii

In environments where the risk of interference to other devices or services is

harmful or perceived as harmful, the option to use a wireless device may be

restricted or eliminated. Airports, Hospitals, and Oxygen or flammable gas

laden atmospheres are limited examples where use of wireless devices may

be restricted or eliminated. When in environments where you are uncertain of

the sanction to use wireless devices, ask the applicable authority for

authorization prior to use or turning on the wireless device.

Every country has different restrictions on the use of wireless devices. Since

your system is equipped with a wireless device, when traveling between

countries with your system, check with the local Radio Approval authorities

prior to any move or trip for any restrictions on the use of a wireless device in

the destination country.

If your system came equipped with an internal embedded wireless device, do

not operate the wireless device unless all covers and shields are in place and

the system is fully assembled.

Wireless devices are not user serviceable. Do not modify them in any way.

Modification to a wireless device will void the authorization to use it. Please

contact manufacturer for service.

A wireless network (Wireless LAN) environment is a network environment that

enables communication between multiple computers at home or a small-size office

through wireless LAN devices.

Using the wireless network connections between the systems, you can use normal

network functions such as sharing of files, folders and printers. When a computer-to

computer network has been established, a computer that is not connected to the Internet

can share the Internet by accessing another computer connected to the Internet. For

details, see “Sharing Internet Access” on page 77.

The description in this section refers to the Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG
