Depending on t he m odel of your I nt el WiFi adapter, your adapter is com patible wit h 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g,

and 802.11n ( draft 2.0) wireless st andards. Operat ing at 5 GHz or 2.4 GHz frequency at dat a rat es of up t o 450

Mbps, you can now connect your com puter t o existing high - speed net works t hat use m ult iple access points wit hin

large or sm all environm ent s. Your WiFi adapter m aint ains aut om at ic data rate control according to the access point

locat ion and signal st rengt h t o achieve the fast est possible connection. All of your wireless net work connect ions

are easily m anaged by the WiFi connect ion utilit y. Profiles t hat are set up through t he WiFi connect ion ut ility

all necessary local and governm ent al regulat ory agency requirem ent s for t he regions t hat they are designat ed

and/ or m arked t o ship into. Because wireless LANs are generally unlicensed devices that share spect rum wit h

radars, satellit es, and ot her licensed and unlicensed devices, it is som et im es necessary t o dynam ically det ect ,

avoid, and lim it usage t o avoid interference wit h these devices. I n m any instances I ntel is required t o provide t est

data to prove regional and local com pliance to regional and governm ental regulat ions before cert ificat ion or

approval t o use the product is grant ed. I nt el's wireless LAN's EEPROM, firm ware, and soft ware driver are designed

to carefully cont rol param eters t hat affect radio operat ion and t o ensure elect rom agnet ic com pliance ( EMC). These

For t hese reasons I nt el cannot perm it any m anipulat ion by third parties of t he software provided in binary form at

lim its found in OET Bulletin 65, supplem ent C, 2001, and ANSI / I EEE C95.1, 1992. Proper operat ion of t his radio

according t o t he instruct ions found in t his m anual will result in exposure subst antially below t he FCC’s

recom m ended lim it s.

The following safet y precaut ions should be observed:

Do not t ouch or m ove ant enna while t he unit is transm it t ing or receiving.

Do not hold any com ponent cont aining the radio such t hat t he ant enna is very close or t ouching any

exposed parts of t he body, especially the face or eyes, while t ransm itting.

Do not operat e t he radio or attem pt t o t ransm it dat a unless the ant enna is connect ed; t his behavior m ay

cause dam age t o t he radio.

Use in specific environm ents:

The use of wireless adapt ers in hazardous locations is lim ited by the const raint s posed by t he safet y

direct ors of such environm ent s.

The use of wireless adapt ers on airplanes is governed by the Federal Aviat ion Adm inist rat ion ( FAA) .

The use of wireless adapt ers in hospit als is restricted t o t he lim its set forth by each hospit al.

Ex plosive Device Pr ox im it y W a r ning

W arn ing: Do not operat e a port able transm itter (including t his wireless adapt er) near unshielded blast ing

caps or in an explosive environm ent unless the transm it t er has been m odified t o be qualified for such use.

Ant enna W ar nings

W arn ing: The wireless adapt er is not designed for use wit h high - gain direct ional antennas.

Use On Aircraft Ca ut ion

Ca ution: Regulat ions of the FCC and FAA prohibit airborne operat ion of radio- frequency wireless devices

(wireless adapt ers) because t heir signals could int erfere wit h critical aircraft instrum ent s.

USA—FCC a nd FAA

The FCC wit h its act ion in ET Docket 96 - 8 has adopt ed a safet y st andard for hum an exposure t o radio frequency

(RF) electrom agnet ic energy em it t ed by FCC certified equipm ent. The wireless adapt er m eet s t he Hum an Exposure

lim its found in OET Bulletin 65, supplem ent C, 2001, and ANSI / I EEE C95.1, 1992. Proper operat ion of t his radio

according t o t he instruct ions found in t his m anual will result in exposure subst antially below t he FCC’s

recom m ended lim it s.

The following safet y precaut ions should be observed:

Do not t ouch or m ove ant enna while t he unit is transm it t ing or receiving.

Do not hold any com ponent cont aining the radio such t hat t he ant enna is very close or t ouching any

exposed parts of t he body, especially the face or eyes, while t ransm itting.

Do not operat e t he radio or attem pt t o t ransm it dat a unless the ant enna is connect ed; t his behavior m ay

cause dam age t o t he radio.

Use in specific environm ents:

The use of wireless adapt ers in hazardous locations is lim ited by the const raint s posed by t he safet y

direct ors of such environm ent s.

The use of wireless adapt ers on airplanes is governed by the Federal Aviat ion Adm inist rat ion ( FAA) .

The use of wireless adapt ers in hospit als is restricted t o t he lim its set forth by each hospit al.

Ex plosive Device Pr ox im it y W a r ning

W arn ing: Do not operat e a port able transm itter (including t his wireless adapt er) near unshielded blast ing

caps or in an explosive environm ent unless the transm it t er has been m odified t o be qualified for such use.

Ant enna W ar nings

W arn ing: The wireless adapt er is not designed for use wit h high - gain direct ional antennas.

Use On Aircraft Ca ut ion

Ca ution: Regulat ions of the FCC and FAA prohibit airborne operat ion of radio- frequency wireless devices

(wireless adapt ers) because t heir signals could int erfere wit h critical aircraft instrum ent s.

The W ir eless Adapt e r and You r H e alt h

The wireless adapt er, like other radio devices, em its radio frequency elect rom agnet ic energy. The level of energy

em it t ed by t he wireless adapt er, however, is less t han the electrom agnet ic energy em itted by other wireless

devices such as m obile phones. The wireless adapter operates wit hin t he guidelines found in radio frequency safet y

st andards and recom m endat ions. These standards and recom m endat ions reflect t he consensus of the scient ific

com m unit y and result from deliberat ions of panels and com m it tees of scientist s who cont inually review and

int erpret the extensive research lit erature. I n som e sit uat ions or environm ent s, t he use of the wireless adapt er

m ay be restrict ed by t he propriet or of t he building or responsible represent at ives of t he applicable organizat ion.

Exam ples of such sit uat ions m ay include:

Using the wireless adapt er on board airplanes, or

Using the wireless adapt er in any ot her environm ent where the risk of int erference wit h other devices or

services is perceived or identified as being harm ful.

I f you are uncert ain of the policy t hat applies t o t he use of wireless adapt ers in a specific organizat ion or
