WL-194g Hardware & Driver Reference8Federal Communications Commission StatementThis device complies with FCC Rules Part 15. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:• This device may not cause harmful interference, and• This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (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 and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that 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 one or more of the following measures:• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. • Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.WARNING! The use of a shielded-type power cord is required in order to meet FCC emission limits and to prevent interference to the nearby radio and television reception. It is essential that only the supplied power cord be used. Use only shielded cables to connect I/O devices to this equipment. You are cautioned that changes or modications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void your authority to operate the equipment.(Reprinted from the Code of Federal Regulations #47, part 15.193, 1993. Washington DC: Ofce of the Federal Register, National Archives and Records Administration, U.S. Government Printing Ofce.)FCC Radio Frequency Interference RequirementsThis device is restricted to INDOOR USE due to its operation in the 2.412 to 2.484GHz frequency range. FCC requires this product to be used indoors for the frequency range 2.412 to 2.484GHz to reduce the potential for harmful interference to co-channel of the Mobile Satellite Systems. High power radars are allocated as primary user of the 2.412 to 2.484GHz bands. These radar stations can cause interference with and / or damage this device.IMPORTANT: This device and its antenna(s) must not be co-located or operat-ing in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.SAFETY STATEMENTS

To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure compliance require-ments, please follow operation instructions in the user’s manual. This equipment is for operation within indoor frequency ranges and is restricted to indoor environ-ments only.FCC Caution: Any changes or modications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment. “The manufacturer declares that this device is limited to Channels in the frequency by specied rmware controlled in the USA.”CE Mark WarningThis is a Class B product, in a domestic environment, this product may cause radio interference, in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures.Hereby the [ PEGATRON Corp. ], declares that this [ Wireless PCI Express Card/WL-194g ] is in compliance with the essential requirements and other relevant provi-sions of Directive 1999/5/EC.SAFETY STATEMENTS
WL-194g Hardware & Driver Reference10France Restricted Wireless Frequency BandsSome areas of France have a restricted frequency band. The worst case maximum authorized power indoors are: • 10mW for the entire 2.4 GHz band (2400 MHz–2483.5 MHz) • 100mW for frequencies between 2446.5 MHz and 2483.5 MHzNOTE: Channels 10 through 13 inclusive operate in the band 2446.6 MHz to 2483.5 MHz.There are few possibilities for outdoor use: On private property or on the private property of public persons, use is subject to a preliminary authorization procedure by the Ministry of Defense, with maximum authorized power of 100mW in the 2446.5–2483.5 MHz band. Use outdoors on public property is not permitted. In the departments listed below, for the entire 2.4 GHz band: • Maximum authorized power indoors is 100mW • Maximum authorized power outdoors is 10mW Departments in which the use of the 2400–2483.5 MHz band is permitted with an EIRP of less than 100mW indoors and less than 10mW outdoors:01 Ain Orientales 02 Aisne 03 Allier 05 Hautes Alpes08 Ardennes 09 Ariège 11 Aude 12 Aveyron 16 Charente 24 Dordogne 25 Doubs 26 Drôme 32 Gers 36 Indre 37 Indre et Loire 41 Loir et Cher45 Loiret 50 Manche 55 Meuse 58 Nièvre 59 Nord 60 Oise 61 Orne 63 Puy du Dôme 64 Pyrénées Atlantique 66 Pyrénées 67 Bas Rhin 68 Haut Rhin 70 Haute Saône 71 Saône et Loire 75 Paris 82 Tarn et Garonne84 Vaucluse 88 Vosges 89 Yonne 90 Territoire de Belfort94 Val de MarneThis requirement is likely to change over time, allowing you to use your wireless LAN card in more areas within France.
