5and committees of scientists who continually review and interpret the extensiveresearch literature.In some situations or environments, the use of Wireless LAN may be restrictedby the proprietor of the building or responsible representatives of theorganization. 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 orservices is perceived or identified as harmful.If you are uncertain of the policy that applies on the use of wireless devices in aspecific organization or environment (e.g. airports), you are encouraged to ask forauthorization to use the Wireless LAN device prior to turning on the equipment.Exposure to Radio Frequency RadiationThe radiated output power of the Toshiba Wireless LAN Card is far below theFCC radio frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless, the Toshiba WirelessLAN Card shall be used in such a manner that the potential for humancontact during normal operation is minimized. The antenna(s) used for thistransmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with anyother antenna or transmitter.Specific Absorption Rate (IEEE)Your device is designed to be in compliance with Radio Waves exposureregulations and does not exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves (radiofrequency electromagnetic fields) in accordance with the Federal TradeCommunications Commission (FCC) and Industry Canada (IC). A substantialsafety 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 utilizedfor the radio wave exposure guidelines. The SAR measurement for devices doesnot exceed 1.6W/kg.The actual SAR values for your device, while in use, are normally well below thestated values. The operating power of your device is automatically decreasedwhen full power is not needed for the wireless connection to increase systemefficiency and to minimize interference on the network. The lower the poweroutput of the device the lower its SAR value.As stated by the World Health Organization, present scientific informationindicates no special precautions are needed for the use of this device. To furtherreduce any exposure, limit your usage.
