Restricted Environments
The SonicWall wireless device, like other radio devices, emits radio frequency electromagnetic energy. The
SonicWall wireless device operates within the guidelines found in radio frequency safety and recommendations.
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 the SonicWall wireless device may be restricted by the
proprietor of the building or responsible representatives of the applicable organization.
Examples of such situations include the following:
•Using the SonicWall wireless device equipment on board airplanes, or
•Using the SonicWall wireless device equipment in any other environment where the risk of interference with
other devices or services is perceived or identified as being harmful.
If you are uncertain of the policy that applies to the use of wireless devices in a specific organization or

device before you turn it on.
WARNING: Explosive Device Proximity Warning: Do not operate a portable transmitter
(such as a wireless network device) near unshielded blasting caps or in an explosive
environment unless the device has been modified to be qualified for such use.
