Safety Notices
The FCC with its action in ET Docket 96-8 has adopted a safety standard for
human exposure to radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy emitted by
FCC certified equipment. The Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network
Connection adapter or the Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945BG Network
Connection adapter meet the Human Exposure limits found in OET Bulletin
65, supplement C, 2001, and ANSI/IEEE C95.1, 1992. Proper operation of
this radio according to the instructions found in this manual will result in
exposure substantially below the FCC’s recommended limits.
The following safety precautions should be observed:
z Do not touch or move antenna while the unit is transmitting or receiving.
z Do not hold any component containing the radio such that the antenna is
very close or touching any exposed parts of the body, especially the face or
eyes, while transmitting.
z Do not operate the radio or attempt to transmit data unless the antenna is
connected; if not, the radio may be damaged.
z Use in specific environments:
Ö The use of wireless devices in hazardous locations is limited by the
constraints posed by the safety directors of such environments.
Ö The use of wireless devices on airplanes is governed by the Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA).
Ö The use of wireless devices in hospitals is restricted to the limits set
forth by each hospital.
z Antenna use:
Ö In order to comply with FCC RF exposure limits, low gain integrated
antennas should be located at a minimum distance of 20 cm (8 inches)
or more from the body of all persons.
Ö High-gain, wall-mount, or mast-mount antennas are designed to be
professionally installed and should be located at a minimum distance
of 30 cm (12 inches) or more from the body of all persons. Please
contact your professional installer, VAR, or antenna manufacturer for
proper installation requirements.
