Wireless Interoperability
The Atheros AR5006EG Wireless Network Adapter products are designed to be interoperable with any wireless
LAN product that is based on Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) /Orthogonal Frequency Division
Multiplexing(OFDM) radio technology, and is compliant to:
■
The IEEE 802.11 Standard on Wireless LANs(Revision B/G), as defined and approved by the Institute of
Electrical and Electronics Engineers.
■
The Wireless Fidelity(Wi-Fi) certification as defined by the Wi-Fi Alliance.
The “Wi-Fi CERTIFIED” logo is
a certification mark of the Wi-Fi Alliance.
CAUTION
Bluetooth™ and WirelessLAN devices operate within the same radio frequency range and may interfere with
one another. If you use Bluetooth™ and WirelessLAN devices simultaneously, you may occasionally experience
a less than optimal network performance or even lose your network connection.
If you should experience any such problem, immediately turn off either one of your Bluetooth™ or
WirelessLAN.

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 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 Wireless LAN device prior to
turning on the equipment.
