User's Manual

Caution: Due to the fact that the frequencies used by 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g,
802.11n, and 802.16e wireless LAN devices may not yet be harmonized in all countries,
802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n, and 802.16e products are designed for use only in
specific countries, and are not allowed to be operated in countries other than those of
designated use. As a user of these products, you are responsible for ensuring that the
products are used only in the countries for which they were intended and for verifying
that they are configured with the correct selection of frequency and channel for the
country of use. The device transmit power control (TPC) interface is part of the Intel®
PROSet/Wireless WiFi Connection Utility Software. Operational restrictions for
Equivalent Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) are provided by the system manufacturer.
Any deviation from the permissible power and frequency settings for the country of use is
an infringement of national law and may be punished as such.
Wireless Interoperability
The wireless adapter is designed to be interoperable with other wireless LAN products that are
based on direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) radio technology and to comply with the
following standards:
 IEEE Std. 802.11b compliant Standard on Wireless LAN
 IEEE Std. 802.11g compliant Standard on Wireless LAN
 IEEE Std. 802.11a compliant Standard on Wireless LAN
 IEEE Std. 802.11n draft 2.0 compliant on Wireless LAN
 IEEE 802.16e-2005 Wave 2 compliant
 Wireless Fidelity certification, as defined by the Wi-Fi Alliance
 WiMAX certification as defined by the WiMAX Forum
The Wireless Adapter and Your Health
The wireless adapter, like other radio devices, emits radio frequency electromagnetic energy.
The level of energy emitted by the wireless adapter, however, is less than the electromagnetic
energy emitted by other wireless devices such as mobile phones. The wireless adapter operates
within the guidelines found in radio frequency safety standards 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 wireless
adapter may be restricted by the proprietor of the building or responsible representatives of the
applicable organization. Examples of such situations may include:
 Using the wireless adapter on board airplanes, or
 Using the wireless adapter 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 adapters in a specific
organization or environment (an airport, for example), you are encouraged to ask for
authorization to use the adapter before you turn it on.
