Wireless operation channels for different domains
This equipment is in compliance with the essential requirements and other
relevant provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC.
France: Restricted wireless frequency bands
Some areas of France have a restricted frequency band. The worst case
maximum authorized power indoors is:
10 mW for the entire 2.4 GHz band (2400 MHz - 2483.5 MHz)
100 mW for frequencies between 2446.5 MHz and 2483.5 MHz
Note: Channels 10 through 13 inclusive operate in the band 2446.6 MHz to
2483.5 MHz.
There are few possibilities for outdoor use: On private property or on the private
property of public persons, use is subject to a preliminary authorization procedure
by the Ministry of Defense, with maximum authorized power of 100 mW in the
2446.5 - 2483.5 MHz band. Use outdoors on public property is not permitted.
In the departments listed below, for the entire 2.4 GHz band:
Maximum authorized power indoors is 100 mW
Maximum authorized power outdoors is 10 mW
N. America 2.412-2.462 GHz Ch01 through Ch11
Japan 2.412-2.484 GHz Ch01 through Ch14
Europe ETSI 2.412-2.472 GHz Ch01 through Ch13
7
English
Departments in which the use of the 2400 - 2483.5 MHz band is permitted with an
EIRP of less than 100 mW indoors and less than 10 mW outdoors:
This requirement is likely to change over time, allowing you to use your wireless
LAN card in more areas within France. Please check with ART for the latest
information (www.art-telecom.fr).
Note: Your WLAN Card transmitts less than 100 mW, but more than 10 mW.

FCC regulations
This mobile device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject
to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
This mobile device 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 radiated radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that 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 one or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which
the receiver is connected.

Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
RF exposure warning
The equipment complies with FCC RF exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment.
The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be co-located or operating in
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter
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.
Important: Body-worn measurements differ among device models,
depending upon available enhancements and FCC requirements.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various devices and at
various positions, they all meet the government requirements.
10
English
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model device with all
reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure
guidelines. SAR information on this model device is on file with the FCC and can
be found under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after
searching on the FCC ID: HLZTMDMA200.
For body worn operation, this device has been tested and meets the FCC RF
exposure guidelines for use with accessories that contain no metal and that
position the device a minimum of 0 cm from the body when the device is switched
on.
Certificate 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.
For body worn operation, this device has been tested and meets the ICNIRP
exposure guidelines and was included in the European Standard EN 62311 and
EN 62209-2 for use with accessories that contain no metal and that position the
device a minimum of 1.5 cm from the body. Use of other accessories may not
ensure compliance with ICNIRP exposure guidelines.
11
English
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.
