A
Use in specific environments:
The use of wireless devices in hazardous locations is limited by the constraints posed by the safety
directors of such environments.
The use of wireless devices on airplanes is governed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
The use of wireless devices in hospitals is restricted to the limits set forth by each hospital.
Antenna use:
Note: Any U-NII device that operates in the 5.15-5.25 GHz band shall use a transmitting antenna
that is an integral part of the device.
In order to comply with FCC RF exposure limits, low gain integrated antennas should be located at a
minimum distance of 2 cm or more from the body of all persons.
High-gain, wall-mount, or mast-mount antennas are designed to be professionally installed and should
be located at a minimum distance of 3 cm or more from the body of all persons. Please contact your
professional installer, VAR, or antenna manufacturer for proper installation requirements.
Explosive Device Proximity Warning
Warning: Do not operate a portable transmitter (such as a wireless network device) near unshielded
blasting caps or in an explosive environment unless the device has been modified to be qualified for
such use.
Antenna Warning
Warning: To comply with the FCC and ANSI C95.1 RF exposure limits, it is recom-
mended for Intel PRO/Wireless 2100A LAN MiniPCI Adapters installed in a desktop or
portable computer, that the antenna for this device be installed so as to provide a
separation distance of al least 2 cm from all persons and that the antenna must not be
co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or radio transmitter. It
is recommended that the user limit exposure time if the antenna is positioned closer
than 2 cm.
Use On Aircraft Caution
Caution: Regulations of the FCC and FAA prohibit airborne operation of radio-fre-
quency wireless devices because their signals could interfere with critical aircraft
instruments.
Other Wireless Devices
Safety Notices for Other Devices in the Wireless Network: Refer to the documentation supplied with
wireless Ethernet adapters or other devices in the wireless network.
