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 2200BG 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.
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 (Wi-Fi) certification, as defined by the Wi-Fi 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
may include:
● 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.
Regulatory information
The Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection adapter wireless network device must be installed and used in
strict accordance with the manufacturer's instructions as described in the user documentation that comes with the product.
