Wireless Regulatory Information

Antenna Warnings
Warning: The wireless adapter is not designed for use with high-gain directional antennas
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.
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
• IEEE Std. 802.11g compliant Standard on Wireless LAN
• IEEE Std. 802.11a compliant Standard on Wireless LAN
• IEEE Std. 802.11n draft 2.0 compliant on Wireless LAN
• Wireless Fidelity certification, as defined by the Wi-Fi Alliance
The Wireless Adapter and Your Health
The wireless adapter, like other radio devices, emits radio frequency electromagnetic energy.
The level of energy emitted by the wireless adapter, however, is less than the electromagnetic
energy emitted by other wireless devices such as mobile phones. The wireless adapter 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 wireless
adapter may be restricted by the proprietor of the building or responsible representatives of the
applicable organization. Examples of such situations may include:
• Using the wireless adapter on board airplanes, or
• Using the wireless adapter in any other environment where the risk of interference with
other devices or services is perceived or identified as being harmful.
