Wireless Interoperability

Wireless LAN miniPCI Combo Card 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 802.11b Standard on Wireless LANs, as defined and approved by
the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.
v The Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) certification as defined by the WECA (Wireless
Ethernet Compatibility Alliance).

Usage environment and your Health

Wireless LAN miniPCI Combo Card emits radio frequency electromagnetic
energy like other radio devices. However, the level of energy emitted is far
much less than the electromagnetic energy emitted by wireless devices like for
example mobile phones.
Because Wireless LAN miniPCI Combo Card operates within the guidelines
found in radio frequency safety standards and recommendations, IBM
believes Wireless LAN miniPCI Combo Card is safe for use by consumers.
These standards and recommendations reflect the consensus of the scientific
community and result from deliberations of panels and committees of
scientists who continually review and interpret the extensive research
literature.
In some situation or environment, the use of Wireless LAN miniPCI Combo
Card may be restricted by the proprietor of the building or responsible
representatives of the organization. These situations may for example include:
v Using Wireless LAN miniPCI Combo Card on board of 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 on the use of wireless devices in
a specific organization (e.g. airport), you are encouraged to ask for
authorization to use Wireless LAN miniPCI Combo Card prior to turning on
the ThinkPad A30.
