FCC REGULA TORY INFORMATION
Please note the following regulatory information related to the
opt ional wireless LAN module.
Regulatory Notes and Statements
Wireless LAN, Health and Authorization for use
R adio frequency electromagnetic energy is emitted from Wireles s LAN de vic es. The e nerg y le v els of the s e emissions, howe v er,
are far much less than the electromagnetic energy emissions
from wireless devices such as mobile phones. Wi reless LAN
devices are safe for use by consumers because they operate
within the guidelines found in radio frequ ency safety standards
and recommendations. The use of Wireless LAN devices may
be restricte d in some situations or environments, such as:
On board an airplane, or
In an explo sive environment, or
In situations where the interference risk to other devices or
service s is perceived or identified as harmful.
In cases in which the policy regarding use of Wireless LAN
devices in specific environments is not clear (e.g., airports,
hospitals, chemical/oil/gas industrial plan t s, private buildings),
ob t ain auth orization to use these devices prior to operating the
equipment.

protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy. If not installed and used in accordanc e with
the instruct ions, it may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, ther e is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television receptio n, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and o n, the user is en couraged to try and correct
the interference by one or more of the following measures:
1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
2. Increase the distance between the equipment and the
receiver.
3. Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different
from the one the receiver is connected to.
4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician
for help.
FCC Radio Frequency Exposure statement
This Wireless LAN radio device has been evaluated under FCC
Bulletin OET 65C and found compliant with the requirements
as set forth in CFR 47 Sections 2.1091, 2.1093, and 15.247 (b)
(4) addressing RF Exposure from radio frequency devices. The
radiated output power of this Wireless LAN device is far below
the FCC radio frequency exposure limits.
The maximum SAR values measured from the devices are:
Intel PROSet Wireless LAN: 0.262 W/kg
Atheros Wireless LAN: 1.03 W/kg
Export restrictions
This product or software contains encryption code which may
not be exported or transferred from the US or Canada without
an appro ved US De partment of Commerce e xport lice n s e. This
device complie s with Part 15 of FCC Rules., as well as ICES 003
B / NMB 003 B. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference,
and (2) this device must accept any interference re ceived,
including interference that may cause un desirable operation.
Modifications not expressly authorized by Fujitsu PC Corporation ma y invalidate the user's right to operate this equipment.
Canadian Notice
To prevent rad io interfe rence to th e licensed service, this device
is intended to be operated indoors and away from windows to
provide maximum shielding. Equipme nt (or its transmit
antenna) that is installed outdoors is subject to licensing.

Before Using the Wireless LAN
The Integrat ed Wireles s LAN is an optional device
available for Fujitsu mobile computers. This manual
describes the basic operating prodecures fo r the
Wireless LAN (referred to as the "wireless mod ule" in
this manual) and how to set up a wireless LAN network.
Before using this wireless module, rea d this manual
carefully to ensure correct operat ion of the device. Keep
this manual in a safe place for reference while using the
wireless module.
Types of Wireless LANs Covered by this Document
This do cument is applicable to systems containing one
of the following two wireless modules. Most of the
proc edures a re identical. Sect ions that differ betwe en the
two devices have been noted in the text:
Intel PROSet Wireless LAN
Atheros Wireless LAN
If your system is a T3010 model, your wireless mod ule
is the Intel PROSet wireless LAN; if your system is a
T3010D model, your wireless module is the Atheros
wireless LAN.
Characteristics o f t he Wireless Module
This wireless module is a mini-PCI card att ached to a
mini-PCI slot inside the computer.
The main charac teristics are as follows:
It operates in the 2.4 GHz Industrial, Scientific, a nd
Medical (ISM) RF band; add itionally, the Atheros
wireless LAN operates in the 5 G Hz RF band.
It does not require an FCC license to operate.
It uses Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS), an
RF modulation scheme that is resistant to noise.
This wireless module is Wi-Fi compliant. The Intel
PROSet mo d ule ca n c o m municate at a maximum data
rate of 11 M bps; the Atheros module can communicate at the maximum data rate of 54 Mbps.
The maximum c ommunication range is approximately 80 feet (25 meters) i nside a building. Please
note that the range you achieve may be shorter or
longer than 80 feet, depending on factors such as
obstructions, walls, columns, construction material,
and reflective objects.
The wireless mod ules support a numb er of industrystandard security mechanisms, including WEP, TKIP,
and 802.1x/EAP (LEAP, TLS, PEAP, MD5).
Wi reless LAN Modes Using this Wireless Module
Ad Hoc Mode (See Figure A-1)
“Ad Hoc Mode” refers to a type of wire less network that
invo lves conn ecting multiple computers with out the use
of an Access Point. Network connectivity between
compu ters can be established using only wireless LAN
cards in a peer-to-peer fashion.
Ad Hoc networks are an easy and inexpensive method
for establishing network connectivity between multiple
comput ers.
In Ad Hoc mode, you can use M icrosoft Network functions, such as File and Print Sharing to share folders,
printers, or other peripheral devices, and exchange files
with other computers.
To use Ad Hoc Mode, you must set the sa me SSID and
the same encryption key for all the compu ters that a re
connected. Communication between computers in an
Ad Hoc network will occur provided they are within
each other’s RF coverage area.

Access Point*
Wired LAN
* An optional hub for a wired
LAN may be required depending
upon the type of access point used.
Access Point (Infrastructure) Mode (See Figure A-2)
If a number of computers are connected simultaneously
in the Ad Hoc mode, the transfer rate may be reduced,
communications may become unstable, or the network
connection could fail. This is because all wireless LAN
cards are using the same radio frequency in the network.
To improve this situation, you can use a wireless LAN
access point, which is sold separately. The wireless LAN
network is in the “Access Point mode” when it uses an
access point, and such a connection is called the “Access
Point Network” or “Infrastructure Network”.
By using an access point, you can set and use a different
communication channel for each network group. Each
channel is given a different radio frequency, and it
eliminates the collision of communications and provides
a more stable communications environment.
How to Handle This Wireless Module
The Integrated Wireless LAN device is already installed in
your mobile computer. Under normal circumstances, it
should not be necessary for you to remove or re-install it.
The wireless LAN has been configured to support the
operating system with which your system shipped.
FOR BETTER COMMUNICATIONS
This personal computer may not operate properly due to
the operating environment. It is highly recommended
that you observe the following precautions when using
your wireless LAN module:
■
For optimum wireless communications, it recommended that operation of the wireless LAN module
occur within 25 meters of the Access Point. Wireless
range is dependent on a multitude of factors including
number of obstructions, walls, type of construction
material, reflective objects, etc.
■
If the computer is unable to communicate properly,
change the channel to be used or the installation location. During the use of a microwave oven or other
equipment generating strong high-frequency energy, in
particular, the personal computer may be highly susceptible to the energy and unable to communicate
properly.
■
Broadcast stations or wireless communication equipment that operate in the 2.4GHz or 5GHz RF Frequency band may interfere with the operation of the
wireless LAN module. Increasing of transmit power or
relocating Access Points may be necessary to combat
the effects of the interference.
