Wireless Guidance
Low power, Radio transmitting type devices (radio frequency (RF) wireless communication
devices), may be present (embedded) in your notebook system. These devices may operate in the
2.4 GHz (i.e. 802.11B/G LAN & Bluetooth) , 5.2 GHz (i.e. 802.11A LAN), and traditional cellular or
PCS cellular bands (i.e. Cellular data modem). 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, Gateway believes these devices are safe for use. Regardless of the power
levels, care should be taken to minimize human contact during normal operation.
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment of a portable device.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter.
The wireless devices installed in this system are intended to be used indoors. In some areas, use of
these devices outdoors is prohibited.
Some circumstances require restrictions on wireless devices. Examples of common restrictions are
listed below:
Warning 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.
