Information for the user
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:
● Do not touch or move antenna while the unit is transmitting or receiving.
● 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.
● Do not operate the radio or attempt to transmit data unless the antenna is connected; if
not, the radio may be damaged.
● Use in specific environments:
❍ The use of wireless devices in hazardous locations is limited by the constraints
posed by the safety directors of such environments.
❍ The use of wireless devices on airplanes is governed by the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA).
❍ The use of wireless devices in hospitals is restricted to the limits set forth by each
hospital.
● Antenna use:
❍ 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.
❍ 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.
