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 Xircom SpringPort
Wireless Ethernet module meets the uncontrolled environmental limits found in OET-65 and ANSI
C95.1, 1991. Proper operation of this radio according to the instructions found in this online user guide
will result in user exposure that is substantially below the FCC recommended limits.
•
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 a portable transmitter near unshielded blasting caps or in an explosive environment
unless it is a type especially qualified for such use.
•
Do not operate the radio or attempt to transmit date unless the antenna is connected; if not, the
radio may be damaged.
Warning for laptop users
: In order to comply with the FCC RF exposure limits, it is recommended,
when using a laptop with a wireless Ethernet module, that the module's integrated antenna should not
be positioned closer than 2 inches (5 cm) from your body or nearby persons for extended periods of
time while it is transmitting (or operating). If the antenna is positioned less than 2 inches (5 cm) from the
user, it is recommended that user exposure time be limited.
Explosive Device Proximity Warning
Warning: Do not operate your wireless network device near unshielded blasting caps or in an explosive
environment unless the device has been modified to be especially qualified for such use.
