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; this behavior may
cause damage to the radio.
Use in specific environments:
The use of wireless adapters in hazardous locations is limited by the constraints posed by the safety
directors of such environments.
The use of wireless adapters on airplanes is governed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
The use of wireless adapters in hospitals is restricted to the limits set forth by each hospital.
Antenna Use
In order to comply with FCC RF exposure limits, low gain integrated antennas should be located at a
minimum distance of 20 cm (8 inches) or more from the body of all persons.
Explosive Device Proximity Warning
Warning
: Do not operate a portable transmitter (including this wireless adapter) near unshielded blasting
caps or in an explosive environment unless the transmitter has been modified to be qualified for such use.
Antenna Warnings
Warning
: To comply with the FCC and ANSI C95.1 RF exposure limits, it is recommended that for the
wireless adapter installed in a desktop or portable computer, the antenna for this wireless adapter to be installed
so as to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm (8 inches) from all persons. It is recommended that the
user limit exposure time if the antenna is positioned closer than 20 cm (8 inches).
Warning
: The wireless adapter is not designed for use with high-gain directional antennas.
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 aircraft instruments.
Other Wireless Devices
Safety Notices for Other Devices in the Wireless Network
: See the documentation supplied with wireless
adapters or other devices in the wireless network.
Local Restrictions on 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n, and 802.16e Radio Usage
Caution
: Due to the fact that the frequencies used by 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n, and 802.16e
wireless LAN devices may not yet be harmonized in all countries, 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n, and
802.16e products are designed for use only in specific countries, and are not allowed to be operated in countries
other than those of designated use. As a user of these products, you are responsible for ensuring that the
products are used only in the countries for which they were intended and for verifying that they are configured
with the correct selection of frequency and channel for the country of use. The device transmit power control
(TPC) interface is part of the Intel® PROSet/Wireless WiFi Connection Utility Software. Operational restrictions for
Equivalent Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) are provided by the system manufacturer. Any deviation from the
permissible power and frequency settings for the country of use is an infringement of national law and may be
punished as such.
For country-specific information, see the additional compliance information supplied with the product.
Wireless Interoperability
The wireless adapter is designed to be interoperable with other wireless LAN products that are based on direct
sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) radio technology and to comply with the following standards:
