Wireless Guidance
(If fitted with 2.4G band or 5G band)
Low power, Radio LAN type devices (radio frequency (RF) wireless communication devices),
operating in the 2.4GHz/ 5GHz Band, may be present (embedded) in your notebook system. The
following section is a general overview of considerations while operating a wireless device.
Additional limitations, cautions, and concerns for specific countries are listed in the specific country
sections (or country group sections). The wireless devices in your system are only qualified for use
in the countries identified by the Radio Approval Marks on the system rating label. If the country you
will be using the wireless device in, is not listed, please contact your local Radio Approval agency for
requirements. Wireless devices are closely regulated and use may not be allowed.
The RF field strength of the wireless device or devices that may be embedded in your notebook are
well below all international RF exposure limits as known at this time. Because the wireless devices
(which may be embedded into your notebook) emit less energy than is allowed in radio frequency
safety standards and recommendations, manufacturer believes these devices are safe for use.
Regardless of the power levels, care should be taken to minimize human contact during normal
operation.
As a general guideline, a separation of 20 cm (8 inches) between the wireless device and the
body, for use of a wireless device near the body (this does not include extremities) is typical. This
device should be used more than 20 cm (8 inches) from the body when wireless devices are on and
transmitting.
Some circumstances require restrictions on wireless devices. Examples of common restrictions are
listed on the next page:
Radio frequency wireless communication can interfere with equipment on commercial
aircraft. Current aviation regulations require wireless devices to be turned off while
traveling in an airplane.
802.11ABGN (also known as wireless Ethernet or Wi-Fi) and Bluetooth communication
devices are examples of devices that provide wireless communication.
In environments where the risk of interference to other devices or services is harmful
or perceived as harmful, the option to use a wireless device may be restricted or
eliminated. Airports, Hospitals, and Oxygen or flammable gas laden atmospheres are
limited examples where use of wireless devices may be restricted or eliminated. When
in environments where you are uncertain of the sanction to use wireless devices, ask
the applicable authority for authorization prior to use or turning on the wireless device.
Every country has different restrictions on the use of wireless devices. Since your
system is equipped with a wireless device, when traveling between countries with your
system, check with the local Radio Approval authorities prior to any move or trip for
any restrictions on the use of a wireless device in the destination country.
If your system came equipped with an internal embedded wireless device, do not
operate the wireless device unless all covers and shields are in place and the system
is fully assembled.
Wireless devices are not user serviceable. Do not modify them in any way. Modification
to a wireless device will void the authorization to use it. Please contact manufacturer
for service.
Only use drivers approved for the country in which the device will be used. See the
manufacturer System Restoration Kit, or contact manufacturer Technical Support for
additional information.
