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 wireless 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 adapters in hazardous locations is limited by the constraints posed by the safety
directors of such environments.
The use of wireless adapters on airplanes is governed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
The use of wireless adapters in hospitals is restricted to the limits set forth by each hospital.
Explosive Device Proximity Warning
Warning: Do not operate a portable transmitter (including this wireless adapter) near unshielded blasting
caps or in an explosive environment unless the transmitter has been modified to be qualified for such use.
Antenna Warnings
Warning: The wireless adapter is not designed for use with high-gain directional antennas.
Use On Aircraft Caution
Caution: Regulations of the FCC and FAA prohibit airborne operation of radio-frequency wireless devices
(wireless adapters) 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
adapters or other devices in the wireless network.
Local Restrictions on 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g and 802.11n Radio Usage
Caution: Due to the fact that the frequencies used by 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g and 802.11n wireless LAN
devices may not yet be harmonized in all countries, 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g and 802.11n 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® PROSet/Wireless WiFi Connection Utility Software. 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 wireless adapter is 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
