The wireless adapter and your health
The wireless adapter, like other radio devices, emits radio frequency
electromagnetic energy. The level of energy emitted by the wireless
adapter, however, is less than the electromagnetic energy emitted by
other wireless devices such as mobile phones. The wireless adapter
operates within the guidelines found in radio frequency safety
standards and recommendations. 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 the wireless adapter
may be restricted by the proprietor of the building or responsible
representatives of the applicable organization. Examples of such
situations may include:
• Using the wireless adapter on board airplanes, or
• Using the wireless adapter in any other environment where the risk
of interference with other devices or services is perceived or
identified as being harmful.
If you are uncertain of the policy that applies to the use of wireless
adapters in a specific organization or environment (an airport, for
example), you are encouraged to ask for authorization to use the
adapter before you turn it on.
USA — FCC and FAA
The FCC with its action in ET Docket 96-8 has adopted a safety
standard for human exposure to radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic
energy emitted by FCC certified equipment. The wireless adapter
meets the Human Exposure limits found in OET Bulletin 65,
Aviso
FCC and FAA regulations may prohibit airborne operation of radio-
frequency wireless devices (wireless adapters) because their signals
could interfere with critical aircraft instruments. Ask the cabin crew
before turning on your device’s wireless adapter whilst on board.
