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.
90 - Regulatory informationUse 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 WarningWarning: 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 useUse On Aircraft CautionCaution: 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 HealthThe 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
Regulatory information - 91situations 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 (applied to machine supports 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 and5.470 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 controls are provided for this wireless adapter allowing any change in the frequency of operations outside the FCC grant of authorization for U.S operation according to Part 15.407 of the FCC rules.USA—Federal Communications Commission (FCC)This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation of the device is subject to the following two conditions:- This device may not cause harmful interference.- This device must accept any interference that may cause undesired operation.- This product does not contain any user serviceable components. Any unauthorized product changes or modifications will invalidate warranty and all applicable regulatory certifications and approvals, including authority to operate this device.
92 - Regulatory information- (Notice for 5GHz) Operations in the 5.15-5.25GHz band are restricted to indoor usage only. (For 5GHz only) -NOTE: The radiated output power of the adapter is far below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless, the adapter should be used in such a manner that the potential for human contact during normal operation is minimized. To avoid the possibility of exceeding the FCC radio frequency exposure limits, you should keep a distance of at least 20cm between you (or any other person in the vicinity), or the minimum separation distance as specified by the FCC grant conditions, and the antenna that is built into the computer. Details of the authorized configurations can be found at http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/ by entering the FCC ID number on the device.Interference StatementThis 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.
