Product information
Products with 5-GHz wireless LAN devices
Frequency availability for 802.11a or 802.11h wireless LAN is not currently
harmonized throughout the European Union. For compliance requirements, users
should verify compliance with their supplier, local HP office, or
telecommunications authority.
Products with HP Broadband Wireless Modules
THIS DEVICE MEETS INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO
RADIO FREQUENCY RADIATION.
The HP Broadband Wireless Module in your notebook is a radio transmitter and
receiver. The device is designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio
frequency (RF) recommended by international guidelines (ICNIRP). These limits
are part of comprehensive guidelines that establish permitted levels of RF radiation
for the general population. The guidelines were developed by independent
scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific
studies. The device also meets the European R&TTE directives, including the
protection of the health and the safety of the user and any other person.
The exposure standard for mobile devices employs a unit of measurement known
as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR).* The SAR was obtained by testing the
device at standard operating positions with the device transmitting at its highest
certified power level in all tested frequency bands. The SAR information for your
computer, including the recommended minimum distance from the body, is
available on the HP Web site at http://www.hp.com/broadbandwireless. The actual
SAR of the device while operating can be well below the maximum value, because
the device operates at multiple power levels and uses only the power required to
reach the network.
When installed in the notebook computer, this device meets RF exposure
guidelines when the antennae are positioned at a minimum distance from the body.
In order to transmit data or messages, this device requires a quality connection to
the network. In some cases, transmission of data or messages may be delayed until
such a connection becomes available. Be sure that the recommended distance is
observed until the transmission is complete.
*The non-FCC, international guidelines state that the SAR limit for mobile devices
used by the public is 2.0 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over 10 grams of body
tissue. The guidelines incorporate a substantial margin of safety to give additional
protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements. SAR
values may vary depending on national reporting requirements and the network
band.
