■ Every country has different restrictions on the use of wireless devices. If
your convertible tablet PC is equipped with a wireless device, check with
the local radio approval authorities prior to your trip for any restrictions
on the use of a wireless device in the destination country.
■ If your convertible tablet PC came equipped with an internal embedded
wireless device, see “Safety, Regulatory, and Legal Information” on
page 309 for general wireless regulatory guidelines.
■ Wireless communication can interfere with equipment on commercial
aircraft. Current aviation regulations require wireless devices to be turned
off while traveling in an airplane. IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b, and
IEEE 802.11g communication devices are examples of devices which use
wireless to communicate. For instructions on how to turn off your wireless
device, see “Turning your wireless Ethernet emitter on or off” on page 210.
