Wireless Interoperability
IBM ThinkPad 802.11b Wireless LAN Adapter (P/N 26P8092) (hereafter called
Wireless LAN Adapter) is designed to be interoperable with any wireless
LAN product that is based on Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) radio
technology and is compliant to:
v The IEEE 802.11 Standard on Wireless LANs (Revision B), as defined and
approved by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.
v The Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) certification as defined by the WECA (Wirless
Ethernet Compatibility Alliance).
Usage environment and your Health
The Wireless LAN Adapter emits radio frequency electromagnetic energy like
other radio devices. However, the level of energy emitted is far less than the
electromagnetic energy emitted by wireless devices like, for example, mobile
phones.
Because the Wireless LAN Adapter operates within the guidelines found in
radio frequency safety standards and recommendations. IBM believes it is safe
for use by consumers. These standards and recommendations reflect the
consensus of the scientific community and the 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
the Wireless LAN Adapter may be restricted by the proprietor of the building
or responsible representatives of the organization. These situations may, for
example, include:
v Using the Wireless LAN Adapter on board airplanes, or
v 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 to the use of wireless devices in
a specific organization (e.g. airport), you are encouraged to ask for
authorization to use the Wireless LAN Adapter prior to turning on the
ThinkPad R31 computer.
