Safety Notices
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 Intel PRO/Wireless 5000 LAN
products meet the Human Exposure limits found in OET Bulletin 65, 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; if not, the radio
may be damaged.
● 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
