If you are uncertain of the policy that applies on the use of wireless devices in a
specific organization or environment (e.g. airports), you are encouraged to ask for
authorization to use the Wireless LAN device prior to turning on the equipment.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation
The radiated output power of the Toshiba Wireless LAN Card is far below the
FCC radio frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless, the Toshiba Wireless
LAN Card shall be used in such a manner that the potential for human
contact during normal operation is minimized. The antenna(s) used for this
transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any
other antenna or transmitter.
Specific Absorption Rate (IEEE)
Your device is designed to be in compliance with Radio Waves exposure
regulations and does not exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves (radio
frequency electromagnetic fields) in accordance with the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) and Industry Canada (IC). A substantial
safety margin is set to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of health.
A unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption rate, or SAR is utilized
for the radio wave exposure guidelines. The SAR measurement for devices does
not exceed 1.6W/kg.
The actual SAR values for your device, while in use, are normally well below the
stated values. The operating power of your device is automatically decreased
when full power is not needed for the wireless connection to increase system
efficiency and to minimize interference on the network. The lower the power
output of the device the lower its SAR value.
As stated by the World Health Organization, present scientific information
indicates no special precautions are needed for the use of this device. To further
reduce any exposure, limit your usage.
