European Radio Approval Information (for products fitted with EU
approved radio devices)
Low power, radio LAN type devices (radio frequency (RF) wireless communication
devices), operating in the 2.4 GHz band, may be embedded in your system which is
intended for office use. This section is only applicable if these devices are present.
Refer to the system label to verify the presence of wireless devices.
Wireless devices that may be in your system are only qualified for use in the
European Union or associated areas if a CE mark with a Notified Body Registration
Number and the Alert Symbol is on the system label.
The power output of the wireless device or devices that may be embedded in your
system is well below the RF exposure limits as set by the European Commission
through the R&TTE directive.
Regulatory Compliance Statements
Low power, radio LAN type devices (radio frequency (RF) wireless communication
devices), operating in the 2.4 GHz band, may be embedded in your system. The
following section is a general overview of considerations for operating a wireless
device.
The equipment complies with the RF Exposure Requirement 1999/519/EC, Council
Recommendation of 12 July 1999 on the limitation of exposure of the general public
to electromagnetic fields (0 Hz to 300 GHz).
Additional limitations, cautions, and concerns for specific countries are listed in the
specific country sections (or country group sections). The wireless devices in your
system are only qualified for use in the countries identified by the Radio Approval
Marks on the system rating label. If the country you will be using the wireless
device in is not listed, please contact your local Radio Approval agency for
requirements. Wireless devices are closely regulated and their use may not be
allowed.
As a general guideline, a separation of 20 cm (8 inches) between the wireless
device and the body when using a wireless device near the body (this does not
include extremities) is typical. This device should be used more than 20 cm
(8 inches) from the body when wireless devices are on and transmitting.
This transmitter must not be collocated or operated in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter.

Security Warnings Regarding the Use of Wireless LAN
Products
A Wireless LAN enables you to exchange information between devices (such as
computers) and wireless access points using radio waves, instead of a physical
LAN cable. You are advised that unauthorized access could be possible and
security features should be configured as appropriate. (See "Security Settings,"
on p. 2-10 for information on selecting encryption and authentication methods.)
On the other hand, as radio waves penetrate to all areas within a certain radius and
go through obstacles (such as walls), the following problems can occur if security
settings are not specified.
•Transmitted data can be eavesdropped on
Third parties with malicious intent can deliberately intercept the radio waves and
possibly steal the following information:
- Personal information such as IDs, passwords, or credit card numbers.
- E-mail content
•Unauthorized infiltration
Third parties with malicious intent can access a personal or corporate network
without authorization, and possibly perform the following:
- Extract personal or confidential information (information leakage)
- Impersonate a specific individual to perform communication or send out
misleading information (impersonation)
- Overwrite and resend intercepted information (modification)
- Send a computer virus, etc., to destroy data or systems (destruction)
Wireless LAN cards and wireless access points have security features to deal with
these problems. Therefore the possibility of such problems can be reduced by
specifying the security settings of the wireless LAN product.
The customer must understand the problems that may occur if security settings are
not specified and take responsibility for decisions regarding security. It is
recommended you specify security settings when using this product.
