Wireless LAN and Your Health
Wireless LAN products, like other radio devices, emit radio frequency
electromagnetic energy. The level of energy emitted by Wireless LAN
devices however is far much less than the electromagnetic energy
emitted by wireless devices like for example mobile phones.
Because Wireless LAN products operate within the guidelines found
in radio frequency safety standards and recommendations, TOSHIBA
believes Wireless LAN is 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 Wireless LAN may be
restricted by the proprietor of the building or responsible
representatives of the organization. These situations may for example
include:
❖
Using the Wireless LAN equipment on board airplanes, or
❖
In any other environment 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 or environment (e.g. airports), you
are encouraged to ask for authorization to use the Wireless LAN
device prior to turning on the equipment.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation
The radiated output power of the Wireless LAN is far below
the FCC radio frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless, the
Wireless LAN shall be used in such a manner that the
potential for human contact during normal operation is
minimized. The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not
be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter.
