WLANs can be operated in most European Union countries without restrictions. However, some countries have restrictions
on the use of WLANs outdoors. This product has a WLAN power output that is greater than 10 mW and may not be used
outdoors in France. In France, outdoor operation of a wireless device is only permitted using the 2.4 to 2.454 GHz
frequency band. Your tablet operates only in infrastructure mode and as a result, will not transmit in the 2.4 to 2.454 GHz
frequency band other than to communicate with a wireless access point.
Your tablet supports IEEE 802.11a and information for the implementation of the 5 GHz frequency band can be found in
the Official Journal of the European Union Commission Decision of 12 February 2007 wherein it states that in the
frequency band 5.150 to 5.350 GHz, Wireless Access Systems (WAS), including Radio Local Area Networks (RLANs),
shall be restricted to indoor use. Since the creation of a network is within the domain of the wireless access point and the
access point is a master device, the device never initiates the creation of a network or attaches to a network in ad-hoc
mode in the 5.150 to 5.350 GHz frequency band.
