Current Users Manual

It is the policy of Agere Systems Inc. to provide customers with the Iatest available
information. 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 is
designed to be inter-operable with any other wireless DSSS type product that
complies with:
. The IEEE 802.11 b Standard on Wireless LANs, as defined and approved
by 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 your
wireless device.
Wireless LAN products are radio devices that emit radio frequency electromagnetic
energy. The level of energy emitted by Wireless LAN devices is much less than the
electromagnetic energy emitted by devices like for example mobile phones.
Because Wireless LAN products operate within the guidelines found in radio
frequency safety standards and recommendations, Agere believes this product is
safe for use by consumers. 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.
