Wireless Network Considerations; Disconnecting The Wlan Device - Fujitsu LifeBook AH531 User Manual

How to Handle This Device
The WLAN device is an optional device that may come pre-installed in your mobile computer. Under
normal circumstances, it should not be necessary for you to remove or re -install it. The Operating System
that your mobile computer comes with has been pre-configured to support the WLAN device.

Wireless Network Considerations

•
The WLAN device supports IEEE802.11b, IEEE802.11g, and IEEE802.11n.
•
The WLAN device operates in the 2.4 GHz ISM band.
•
Microwave ovens may interfere with the operation of WLAN devices since they operate in the same 2.4 GHz
frequency range as IEEE802.11b/g/n devices.
•
Wireless devices that transmit in the 2.4 GHz range may interfere with operation of WLAN devices in
IEEE802.11b/g/n modes. Symptoms of interference include reduced throughput, intermittent disconnects,
and many frame errors. It is HIGHLY recommended that these interfering devices be powered off to ensure
proper operation of the WLAN device.

Disconnecting the WLAN Device

Disconnecting the WLAN device may be desired in certain circumstances (to extend battery life) or where
certain environments require it (i.e., hospitals, clinics, airplanes, etc.). The WLAN device can be
deactivated by using the [Fn]+[F5] key combination and it can be disconnected in Windows using the
WLAN icon in the system tray (Note that disconnecting via the icon in the system tray does not turn off
the radio; it continues to transmit and receive even though it's not connected.).
