Wireless LAN products are radio devices that emit radio frequency electromagnetic energy. The
level of energy emitted by a Wireless LAN device is much less than the electromagnetic energy
emitted by devices like mobiles phones.

Because Wireless LAN products operate within the guidelines found in radio frequency safety
standards and recommendations, Enterasys believes this product 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.
