Information for the User
Safety Notices
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 Exposure
limits found in OET Bulletin 65, supplement C, 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.
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 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.
