USA and Canada Safety Requirements and Notices
The FCC with its action in ET Docket 96-8 has adopted a safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency (RF)
electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC certified equipment. The Intel PRO/Wireless LAN Mini PCI Adapter products meet the
Human Exposure limits found in OET Bulletin 65, 2001, and ANSI/IEEE C95.1, 1992. Proper operation of this radio according to the
instructions found in this manual will result in exposure substantially below the FCC’s recommended 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 any exposed 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; if not, the radio may be damaged.
• Use in specific environments:
o The use of wireless devices in hazardous locations is limited by the constraints posed by the safety directors of such
environments.
o The use of wireless devices on airplanes is governed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
o The use of wireless devices in hospitals is restricted to the limits set forth by each hospital.
• Antenna use:
o In order to comply with FCC RF exposure limits, low gain integrated antennas should be located at a minimum distance of
20 cm (8 inches) or more from the body of all persons.
o High-gain, wall-mount, or mast-mount antennas are designed to be professionally installed and should be located at a
minimum distance of 30 cm (12 inches) or more from the body of all persons. Please contact your professional installer,
VAR, or antenna manufacturer for proper installation requirements.
Explosive Device Proximity Warning
Warning: Do not operate a portable transmitter (such as a wireless network device) near unshielded blasting caps or in an
explosive environment unless the device has been modified to be qualified for such use.
Antenna Warning
Warning: To comply with the FCC and ANSI C95.1 RF exposure limits, it is recommended for Intel(R) PRO/Wireless LAN Mini PCI
Adapters installed in a desktop or portable computer, that the antenna for this device be installed so as to provide a separation
distance of al least 20 cm (8 inches) from all persons and that the antenna must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with
any other antenna or radio transmitter. It is recommended that the user limit exposure time if the antenna is positioned closer than
20 cm (8 inches).
Use On Aircraft Caution
Caution: Regulations of the FCC and FAA prohibit airborne operation of radio-frequency wireless devices because their signals
could interfere with critical aircraft instruments.
Other Wireless Devices
Safety Notices for Other Devices in the Wireless Network: Refer to the documentation supplied with wireless Ethernet adapters
or other devices in the wireless network.
This device is intended for OEM integrators only.
This device cannot be co-located with any other transmitter.
Calexico Compliance Document
Page 4 12/20/02
This device is intended only for OEM integrators under the following conditions:
1) The antenna must be installed such that 20 cm is maintained between the antenna and users. For laptop installations, the
antenna must be installed to ensure that the proper spacing is maintained in the event the users places the device in their lap during
use (i.e. positioning of antennas must be placed in the upper portion of the LCD panel only to ensure 20 cm will be maintained if the
user places the device in their lap for use) and
2) The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter or antenna.
As long as the 2 conditions above are met, further transmitter testing will not be required. However, the OEM integrator is still
responsible for testing their end-product for any additional compliance requirements required with this module installed (for example,
digital device emissions, PC peripheral requirements, etc.).
IMPORTANT NOTE: In the event that these conditions can not be met (for example certain laptop configurations or co-location
with another transmitter), then the FCC authorization is no longer considered valid and the FCC ID can not be used on the final
product. In these circumstances, the OEM integrator will be responsible for re-evaluating the end product (including the transmitter)
and obtaining a separate FCC authorization.
End Product Labeling
This transmitter module is authorized only for use in devices where the antenna may be installed such that 20 cm may be
maintained between the antenna and users (for example access points, routers, wireless ASDL modems, certain laptop
configurations, and similar equipment). The final end product must be labeled in a visible area with the following: "Contains TX
FCC ID: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX," where XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX is replaced by the FCC ID on the module being integrated.
RF Exposure Manual Information That Must be Included
The users manual for end users must include the following information in a prominent location "IMPORTANT NOTE: To comply with
FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, the antenna used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance
of at least 20 cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter."
Additional Information That Must be Provided to OEM Integrators
The end user should NOT be provided any instructions on how to remove or install the device.

European Economic Area Restrictions
Local Restriction of 802.11a and 802.11b Radio Usage
Caution: Due to the fact that the frequencies used by 802.11a and 802.11b wireless LAN devices may not yet be harmonized within
the European community, 802.11a and 802.11b products are designed for use only in specific countries, and are not allowed to be
operated in countries other than those of designated use. As a user of these products, you are responsible for ensuring that the
products are used only in the countries for which they were intended and for verifying that they are configured with the correct
selection of frequency and channel for the country of use. Any deviation from the country settings and restrictions shown below is an
infringement of national law and may be punished as such.
The European variant is intended for use throughout the European Economic Area. However, authorization for use is restricted as
follows:
Passive Scanning Adapters and Access Points
Intel(R) PRO/Wireless LAN Mini PCI Adapters support passive scanning for selection of channels. This means that the adapter
obtains its channel settings from the access point to which it is connected. These values cannot be set on the adapter itself. In order
to comply with local regulations, adapters must only be used with access points configured for the legal channels in the country of
use.
Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS)
Intel(R) PRO/Wireless LAN Mini PCI Adapters support Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) on access points in the 5 GHz
frequencies. This feature is designed to prevent use of channels on which radar transmissions are detected. In accordance with
local laws, wireless LAN signals may not interfere with radar signals. The DFS feature is under the control of the access point. In
order to comply with local regulations, adapters must only be used with access points that have the DFS feature switched on.
The frequencies listed in the table below are permissible on systems that support DFS and have the DFS feature switched on.
802.11a Permissible Frequencies under DFS
