Wireless connections

Wireless connection is the transfer of data without the use of cables by means of radio waves only. Depending on the frequency used for data transmission, the area covered, or the type of the device used for data transfer, the following

categories of wireless networks may be available to you:

Wireless LAN

A wireless local area network covers a relatively small geographic area, such as an office building or a house. Devices based on the 802.11 standards can connect to this network.

Wireless WAN

A wireless wide area network covers a broader geographic area. Cellular networks are used for data transmission, and access is provided by a wireless service carrier.

Bluetooth

One of a number of technologies used to create a wireless personal area network.

Bluetooth

can connect devices a short distance from one another, and is commonly used for connecting peripheral devices to a computer, transferring data between hand-held devices and PC, or remotely controlling and communicating with devices such as mobile phones.

Wireless USB

This wireless analog of the USB standard can create a wireless personal area network by implementing short-range large-bandwidth radio transmissions. It is used primarily for connecting a PC to peripherals that are no more than a short distance from the host.

WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access)

This long-range wireless data transmission technology based on the 802.16 standard, is expected to provide the user a "last mile" broadband connectivity similar to that provided by cable or ADSL, but without the need to physically connect a cable to the PC.

Usage environment and your health

Wireless LAN PCI Express Mini Card, Wireless WAN PCI Express Mini Card, and

Bluetooth

device emit radio frequency electromagnetic energy like other radio devices. However, the level of energy emitted is far much less than the electromagnetic ener gy emitted by wireless devices like for example mobile phones.

Due to the fact that Wireless LAN PCI Express Mini Card, Wireless WAN PCI Express Mini Card, and

Bluetooth

device operate within the guidelines found in radio frequency safety standards and recommendations, Lenovo believes the integrated wireless cards are 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 situation or environment, the use of Wireless LAN PCI Express Mini Card, Wireless WAN PCI Express Mini Card or

Bluetooth

device may be restricted by the proprieto r of the building or responsible representatives of the organization. These situations and areas may for example include:

Using the integrated wireless cards on board of airplanes, in hospitals or near petrol stations, blasting areas (with electro-explosive devices), medical implants or body-worn electronic medical devices, e.g. pace makers.

z 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 (e.g., airport or hospital), you are encouraged to ask for authorization to use Wireless LAN PCI Express Mini Card, Wireless WAN PCI Express Mini Card or

Bluetooth

device

prior to turning on the computer.
