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	 .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 
A
 pproval	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 
i
 nternational	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	 0	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	 0	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: 
						

							9
	 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 Wifi) and Bluetooth communication devices are examples of devices that 
p
 rovide	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 
a
re	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.
  W
ireless 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.
