This section provides the following safety and regulatory notices covering the following product:
Intel® PRO/Wireless 5000 LAN Mini-PCI Adapter.
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.
• 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:
o The use of wireless devices in hazardous locations is limited by the constraints
posed by the safety directors of such environments.
o The use of wireless devices on airplanes is governed by the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA).
o The use of wireless devices in hospitals is restricted to the limits set forth by each
hospital.
• Antenna use:
o In order to comply with FCC RF exposure limits, low gain integrated antennas
should be located at a minimum distance of 7.9 inches (20 cm) or more from the
body of all persons.
o High-gain, wall-mount, or mast-mount antennas are designed to be
professionally installed and should be located at a minimum distance of 12
inches (30 cm) or more from the body of all persons. Please contact your
professional installer, VAR, or antenna manufacturer for proper installation
requirements.
