European Economic Area Restrictions
Local Restriction of 802.11a and 802.11b Radio Usage
Caution:
Due to the fact that the frequencies used by 802.11a and 802.11b wireless LAN devices may not yet be harmonized within
the European community, 802.11a and 802.11b 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. Any deviation from the country settings and restrictions shown below is an
infringement of national law and may be punished as such.
The European variant is intended for use throughout the European Economic Area. However, authorization for use is restricted as
follows:
Passive Scanning Adapters and Access Points
Intel(R) PRO/Wireless LAN Mini PCI Adapters support passive scanning for selection of channels. This means that the adapter
obtains its channel settings from the access point to which it is connected. These values cannot be set on the adapter itself. In order
to comply with local regulations, adapters must only be used with access points configured for the legal channels in the country of
use.
Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS)
Intel(R) PRO/Wireless LAN Mini PCI Adapters support Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) on access points in the 5 GHz
frequencies. This feature is designed to prevent use of channels on which radar transmissions are detected. In accordance with
local laws, wireless LAN signals may not interfere with radar signals. The DFS feature is under the control of the access point. In
order to comply with local regulations, adapters must only be used with access points that have the DFS feature switched on.
The frequencies listed in the table below are permissible on systems that support DFS and have the DFS feature switched on.
802.11a Permissible Frequencies under DFS
Country Permissible frequencies
Belgium 5.15 – 5.35 GHz
Denmark 5.15 – 5.35; 5.47 – 5.725 GHz
France 5.15 – 5.35
Iceland 5.15 – 5.35; 5.47 – 5.725 GHz
Ireland 5.15 – 5.35 GHz
Italy 5.15 – 5.35; 5.47 – 5.725 GHz
Netherlands 5.15 – 5.35; 5.47 – 5.725 GHz
Norway 5.15 – 5.35; 5.47 – 5.725 GHz
Sweden 5.15 – 5.35; 5.47 – 5.725 GHz
United Kingdom 5.15 – 5.35; 5.47 – 5.725 GHz
802.11b Restrictions
• European standards dictate maximum radiated transmit power of 100mW EIRP and frequency range 2.400 – 2.4835 GHz.
• In France, the equipment must be restricted to the 2.4465 – 2.4835 GHz frequency range and must be restricted to indoor use.

Canada Radio Frequency Interference Requirements
This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003, Issue 2, and RSS-210, Issue 4 (Dec. 2000).
“To prevent radio interference to the licensed service, this device is intended to be operated indoors and away from windows to
provide maximum shielding. Equipment (or its transmit antenna) that is installed outdoors is subject to licensing.”
Cet appareil numérique de la classe B est conforme à la norme NMB-003, No. 2, et CNR-210, No. 4 (Dec. 2000).
« Pour empêcher que cet appareil cause du brouillage au service faisant l'objet d'une licence, il doit être utilisé à l'intérieur et devrait
être placé loin des fenêtres afin de fournir un écran de blindage maximal. Si le matériel (ou son antenne d'émission) est installé à
l'extérieur, il doit faire l'objet d'une licence. »
