Safety Instructions
The Wireless USB Adapter, like other radio devices, emits
radio frequency electromagnetic energy. The level of energy
emitted by this device, however, is less than the electromagnetic energy emitted by other wireless devices such as
mobile phones. The Wireless device 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 devices may be restricted by the proprietor of
the building or responsible representatives of the applicable organization. Examples of such situations include the
following:

Using the Wireless equipment on board airplanes,

Using the Wireless equipment in medical facilities, or

Using the Wireless equipment in any other environment where the risk of interference with other devices or
services is perceived or identified as being harmful.
If you are uncertain of the policy that applies to the use of wireless devices in a specific organization or environment
(an airport, for example), you are encouraged to ask for authorization to use the Wireless device before you turn it
on.
