User's Guide

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.
Antenna Warnings
Warning: To comply with the FCC and ANSI C95.1 RF exposure limits, it is recommended that when the Intel(R) PRO/
Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection or Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945BG Network Connection adapter is installed in a
desktop or portable computer, the antenna for this device be installed so as to provide a separation distance of al least 20
cm (8 inches) from all persons. It is recommended that the user limit exposure time if the antenna is positioned closer than
20 cm (8 inches).
Warning: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless LAN products are not designed for use with high-gain directional antennas. Use of
such antennas with these products in a manner other than as described in the previous section titled, “Antenna Use” is
illegal.
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.
Other Wireless Devices
Safety Notices for Other Devices in the Wireless Network: See the documentation supplied with wireless Ethernet
adapters or other devices in the wireless network.
Local Restrictions on 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g Radio Usage
Caution: Due to the fact that the frequencies used by 802.11a, 802.11b and 802.11g wireless LAN devices may not
yet be harmonized in all countries, 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g 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(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi Connection Utility. 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.
For country-specific information, see the additional compliance information supplied with the product.
Wireless interoperability
The Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection and Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945BG Network Connection are
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
● Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) certification, as defined by the Wi-Fi Alliance
The Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection adapter or the Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945BG
Network Connection adapter and your health
The Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection adapter or the Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945BG 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 3945ABG Network Connection adapter or the Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945BG 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
