WIRELESS ADAPTER REGULATORY INFORMATION
Use On Aircraft Caution
Caution: Regulations of the FCC and FAA prohibit airborne operation of radio-
frequency wireless devices (wireless adapters) because their signals could interfere
with critical interfere with critical aircraft instruments.
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.
If you are uncertain of the policy that applies to the use of wireless adapters in a
specific organization or environment (an airport, for example), you are encouraged to
ask for authorization to use the adapter before you turn it on.
USA—FCC and FAA
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 wireless adapter meets the Human Exposurelimits found in OET
Bulletin 65, supplement C, 2001, and ANSI/IEEE C95.1, 1992. Proper operation of this
radioaccording to the instructions found in this manual will result in exposure
substantially below the FCC’srecommended limits.
The following safety precautions should be observed:
- 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 anyexposed parts of the body, especially the face or eyes, while
transmitting.
