Wireless LAN and Your Health
Wireless LAN products, like other radio devices, emit radio frequency electromagnetic energy.
The level of energy emitted by Wireless LAN devices however is far much less than the
electromagnetic energy emitted by wireless devices like for example mobile phones.
Because Wireless LAN products operate within the guidelines found in radio frequency
safety standards and recommendations, TOSHIBA believes Wireless LAN 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 situations or environments, the use of Wireless LAN may be restricted by the proprietor
of the building or responsible representatives of the organization. These situations may for
example include:
●
Using the Wireless LAN equipment on board airplanes, or
●
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 or environment (e.g. airports), you are encouraged to ask for authorization to use
the Wireless LAN device prior to turning on the equipment.
