User's Manual

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 adapter meets 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;
this behavior may cause damage to the radio.
● 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.
Explosive Device Proximity Warning
Warning: Do not operate a portable transmitter (such as a wireless network adapter)
near unshielded blasting caps or in an explosive environment unless the adapter 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 for the adapter installed in a desktop or portable computer, the antenna
for this adapter to be installed so as to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm (8
inches) from all persons. It is recommended that the user limit exposure time if the antenna
