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.
- Do not operate the radio or attempt to transmit data unless the antenna is
connected; this behavior maycause damage to the radio.
• Use in specific environments:
- The use of wireless adapters in hazardous locations is limited by the constraints
posed by the safetydirectors 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.
The product comply with the FCC portable RF exposure limit set forth for an uncontrolled
environment and are safe for intended operation as described in this manual. The further
RF exposure reduction can be achieved if the product can be kept as far as possible from
the user body or set the device to lower output power if such function is available.
Explosive device proximity warning
Warning: Do not operate a portable transmitter (including this wireless
adapter) near unshielded blastingcaps or in an explosive environment
unless the transmitter has been modified to be qualified for such use.
Interference statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy. If the equipment
is not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, the equipment may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. There is no guarantee, however, that
such interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception (which can be determined by turning
the equipment off and on), the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by
taking one or more of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna of the equipment experiencing the
interference.
- Increase the distance between the wireless adapter and the equipment
experiencing the interference.
- Connect the computer with the wireless adapter to an outlet on a circuit different
from that to which the equipment experiencing the interference is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Caution: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate
the equipment.
FCC RF exposure information (SAR)
This device meets the government's requirements for exposure to radio waves. This
device is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to
radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the
U.S. Government.
The exposure standard for wireless devices employs a unit of measurement known as
the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. Tests
for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the
device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands.
Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level
of the device while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the
device is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the poser
required to reach the network.
In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power
output. While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various devices and
at various positions, they all meet the government requirement.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this device with all reported SAR
levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR
information on this device is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display
Grant section of www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching on FCC ID for your device.

SAR information
RF exposure information (SAR)
This device meets the EU requirements (1999/519/EC) on the limitation of exposure of
the general public to electromagnetic fields by way of health protection. The limits are
part of extensive recommendations for the protection of the general public. These
recommendations have been developed and checked by independent scientific
organizations through regular and thorough evaluations of scientific studies. To
guarantee the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health, the limits include a
significant safety buffer. Before radio devices can be put in circulation, their agreement
with European laws or limits must be confirmed; only then may the CE symbol be
applied.
The unit of measurement for the European Council's recommended limit for mobile
devices is the "Specific Absorption Rate" (SAR). This SAR limit is 2.0 W/kg, averaged
over 10 g of body tissue. It meets the requirements of the International Commission on
Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP). The maximum SAR value is calculated at
the highest output level in all frequency bands of the mobile device. The highest SAR
value reported under this standard during product certification for use of the device at
a distance of 0 cm from the body.
During use, the actual SAR level is usually much lower than the maximum value,
because the mobile device works in different output levels. It only transmits with as much
output as is required to reach the network. In general the following applies: The closer
you are to a base station, the lower the transmission output of your mobile device.
