Health and Authorization for use

Radio frequency electromagnetic energy is emitted from
Wireless LAN devices. The energy levels of these emissions
however are far much less than the electromagnetic energy
emissions from wireless devices like for example mobile phones.
Wireless LAN devices are safe for use frequency safety
standards and recommendations. The use of Wireless LAN
devices may be restricted in some situations or environments for
example:

z On board of airplanes, or
z In an explosive environment, or
z In case the interference risk to other devices or services is
