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.
FCC Radio Frequency Interference Requirements (applies to device supporting
802.11a)
This device is restricted to indoor use due to its operation in the 5.15 to 5.25 GHz and
5.470 to 5.725 GHz frequency ranges. FCC requires this product to be used indoors for
the frequency ranges 5.15 to 5.25 GHz and 5.470 to 5.725 GHz to reduce the potential
for harmful interference to co-channel mobile satellite systems. High power radars are
allocated as primary users of the 5.25 to 5.35 GHz and 5.65 to 5.85 GHz bands. These
radar stations can cause interference with and /or damage this device. No configuration
