Use On Aircraft Caution
Caution: Regulations of the FCC and FAA prohibit airborne operation of radio-frequency
wireless devices because their signals could interfere with critical aircraft instruments.
Local Restrictions on 802.11b and 802.11g Radio Usage
All frequencies used by 802.11b and 802.11g are harmonized. Some countries though may not
allow 802.11g.
Wireless interoperability
The Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection adapter is designed to be
interoperable with any wireless LAN product that is based on direct sequence spread spectrum
(DSSS) radio technology and to comply with the following standards:
● IEEE Std. 802.11b-1999. Standard on Wireless LAN.
● IEEE Std. 802.11g compliant. Standard on Wireless LAN.
● Wireless Fidelity (WiFi(R)) certification, as defined by the WECA (Wireless Ethernet
Compatibility Alliance).
The Intel(R) PRO/Wireless LAN 2200BG Mini PCI adapter and your health
The Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection adapter, like other radio devices,
emits radio frequency electromagnetic energy. The level of energy emitted by this device,
however, is less than the electromagnetic energy emitted by other wireless devices such as
mobile phones. The Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection adapter wireless
device 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 Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection adapter
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 Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection adapter equipment on
board airplanes, or
● Using the Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection adapter 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 environment (an airport, for example), you are encouraged to ask for
authorization to use the Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection adapter wireless
device before you turn it on.
