REGULATORY INFORMATION
Preface
Note:
Due to the evolving state of regulations and standards in the wireless LAN fields
(IEEE802.11 and similar standards), the information provided here is subject to change.
NEC Computers S.A.S. assumes no responsibility for errors or omissions in this
document.
Wireless Network Device and Your Health
The wireless network device installed in your system, like other radio devices, emits radio frequency
electromagnetic energy. The level of energy emitted by this device, however, is less than the
electromagnetic energy emitted by other wireless devices such as mobile phones. The wireless network
device operates within the guidelines found in radio frequency safety standards and recommendations.
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 situations or environments, the use of the wireless network
devices may be restricted by the proprietor of the building or responsible representatives of the
applicable organization. Examples of such situations include the following:
•
Using the wireless network device on board air planes, or
•
Using it in any other environment where the risk of interference with other devices or services is
perceived or identified as being harmful.
If you are uncertain of the policy that applies to the use of wireless devices in a specific organization or
environment (an airport, for example), you are encouraged to ask for authorization to use the wireless
network device before you turn it on.
European Declaration of Conformity
This equipment complies with the essential
requirements and other relevant provisions of the
European Union directive 1999/5/EC.
The wireless network device must be used in
strict accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions as described in the user
documentation that comes with the product. NEC Computers S.A.S. is not responsible for any radio
or television interference caused by unauthorized modification of the devices included with the
network connection kit, or the substitution or attachment of connecting cables and equipment other
than that specified by NEC Computers S.A.S. The correction of interference caused by such
unauthorized modification, substitution or attachment is the responsibility of the user.
NEC Computers S.A.S. and its authorized resellers or distributors are not liable for any damage or
violation of government regulations that may arise from the user failing to comply with these
guidelines.
