Wireless LAN and your Health
Wireless LAN products, like other radio devices, emit radio frequency electromagnetic
energy. The level of energy emitted by Wireless LAN devices however is far much less
than the electromagnetic energy emitted by wireless devices like for example mobile
phones.
Because Wireless LAN products operate within the guidelines found in radio frequency
safety standards and recommendations, TOSHIBA believes Wireless LAN 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.
In some situations or environments, the use of Wireless LAN may be restricted by the
proprietor of the building or responsible representatives of the organisation. These situations may for example include:
Using the Wireless LAN equipment on board of aeroplanes, or
•
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
organisation or environment (e.g. airports), you are encouraged to ask for authorisation
to use the Wireless LAN device prior to turning on the equipment.

Multi-channel Operation
By changing channels on adjacent access points, it is possible to obtain higher throughput per wireless terminal, than when channels are not changed, even when the number
of wireless terminals are increased.
The 2.4G ISM band (2400 to 2472 MHz) in which this product operates is subdivided
into 11 channels, numbered 1 to 11, by IEEE standard 802.11, because each frequency
has sidebands around its central frequency, sidebands on adjacent channels overlap.
Overlapping frequencies can adversely affect communications by interference with
each other's transmissions.
Refer to the figure below when selecting channels, to ensure the frequency bands
•
do not overlap.
The maximum number of channels which can be used simultaneously without inter-
•
ference is three. By using a combination of channels 1, 6, 11. Channel numbers
can be set from 1 to 11 using utility software.
Channel numbers can be set from 1 to 11 using the utility software.

Even on the same network, the wireless terminals which have different channels
cannot communicate with each other.
