It is the policy of Agere  Systems  Inc. to provide customers  with the Iatest availableinformation.  AII updates to this document  will appear  in the English version first.This document  provides  regulatory  information  about Agere wireless  LAN products.This product  uses Direct Sequence  Spread Spectrum (DSSS)  radio technology.  It isdesigned  to be inter-operable  with any other wireless  DSSS type  product thatcomplies  with:.  The  IEEE 802.11 b Standard  on Wireless  LANs, as defined  and approvedby the  Institute of Electrical  and Electronics  Engineers..  The Wireless  Fidelity  (Wi-Fi) certification  as defined  by the Wi-Fi Alliance,formerly  known as WECA  (Wireless  Ethernet Compatibility  Alliance).For the country  and date of manufacturing,  consult  the identification  label of yourwireless  device.Wireless  LAN products  are radio devices that emit radio frequency  electromagneticenergy. The  level of energy emitted  by Wireless  LAN devices  is much less than theelectromagnetic  energy emitted  by devices  like for example  mobile phones.Because Wireless  LAN products  operate  within the guidelines  found  in radiofrequency  safety  standards  and recommendations,  Agere  believes  this product issafe for use by consumers.  These standards  and recommendations  reflect theconsensus  of the scientific  community  and result from deliberations  of panels andcommittees  of scientists  who continually  review and interpret the extensive  researchliterature.1
