Wireless Interoperability
The IEEE 802.11 WaveLAN products are designed to be inter-operable with any
wireless LAN product that is based on Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS)
radio technology, and is compliant to the IEEE 802.11 Standard on Wireless LANs
(Revision B), as defined and approved by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers.
WaveLAN and your Health
WaveLAN, like other radio devices, emits radio frequency electromagnetic energy.
The level of energy emitted by WaveLAN devices however is far much less than the
electromagnetic energy emitted by wireless devices like for example mobile
phones.
Because WaveLAN operates within the guidelines found in radio frequency safety
standards and recommendations, Lucent Technologies believes WaveLAN 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 WaveLAN may be restricted by the
proprietor of the building or responsible representatives of the organization. These
situations may for example include:
• Using the WaveLAN equipment on board of 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 WaveLAN device prior to turning on the equipment.
