36Appendix : Updating Your Gateway Connected DVD Player FirmwareRegulatory compliance statementsWireless GuidanceThe WGM-240 wireless PCMCIA card is intended to be use exclusively with the Gateway Connected DVD player.The WGM-240 802.11g wireless LAN (low power Radio Frequency, RF, transmitting device) operates in the 2400 - 2483.5 MHz band. The following section is a general overview of considerations while operating the wireless LAN.Limitations, cautions, and concerns are listed below and in the specific country sections (or country group sections). This wireless device is only qualified for use in the countries identified by the Radio Approval Marks on the device rating label. If the country you will be using the wireless device in is not listed, please contact that countries local Radio Approval agency for requirements prior to operation. Wireless devices are closely regulated and use may not be allowed.The power output of the WGM-240 wireless LAN device is well below the RF exposure limits as known at this time. Because this wireless device emits less energy than is allowed in radio frequency safety standards and recommendations, Gateway believes these devices are safe for use. Regardless of the power levels, care should be taken to minimize human contact during normal operation.Measurements have been performed to show that the RF exposure is below what is considered safe limits; however, care should be taken to make sure that the user or bystanders keep the transmitter away from their bodies when the wireless device is transmitting. Measurements indicated compliance with RF exposure limits at the antenna housing's surface.As stated previously, this card is only intended to be used in the Gateway Connected DVD Player where this separation distance can be maintained.This wireless device is intended to be used indoors. In some areas, use of this device outdoors is prohibited.Some circumstances require restrictions on using wireless devices. Examples of common restrictions are listed below:8509634.fm  Page 36  Thursday, December 4, 2003  12:52 PM

38Appendix : Updating Your Gateway Connected DVD Player FirmwareUnited States of AmericaFederal Communications Commission (FCC)Intentional emitter per FCC Part 15The power output of the WGM-240 wireless LAN device is well below the RF exposure limits as known at this time. Because this wireless device emits less energy than is allowed in radio frequency safety standards and recommendations, Gateway believes these devices are safe for use. Regardless of the power levels, care should be taken to minimize human contact during normal operation.Measurements have been performed to show that the RF exposure is below what is considered safe limits; however, care should be taken to make sure the user or bystanders keep the transmitter away from their bodies when the wireless device is transmitting. This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits for an uncontrolled environment, of a portable transmitting device, under 47 CFR 2.1093 paragraph (d)(2).  Measurements indicated compliance with RF exposure limits at the antenna housing's surface.This wireless device is intended to be used indoors. In some areas, use of this device outdoors is prohibited.As stated previously, this card is only intended to be used in the Gateway Connected DVD Player where this separation distance can be maintained. The Gateway WGM-240 is limited to use on channels one through eleven by specified firmware controlled in U.S.A. as a requirement of the FCC grant.Operation of this device 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 of the device.Warning  In order to comply with FCC requirements this transmitter must not be operated (or co-located) in conjunction with any other transmitter or antenna.Warning  Wireless devices are not user serviceable. Do not modify them in any way. Modification to a wireless device will void the authorization to use it. Contact Gateway for service.8509634.fm  Page 38  Thursday, December 4, 2003  12:52 PM
