### Information for the User

#### Safety Notices

#### USA—FCC and FAA

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 wireless adapter meets the Human Exposure limits found in OET Bulletin 65, supplement C, 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; this behavior may cause damage to the radio.
- Use in specific environments:
  - The use of wireless adapters in hazardous locations is limited by the constraints posed by the safety directors 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.

#### Explosive Device Proximity Warning

Warning: Do not operate a portable transmitter (including this wireless adapter) near unshielded blasting caps or in an explosive environment unless the transmitter has been modified to be qualified for such use.

#### Antenna Warnings

Warning: The wireless adapter is not designed for use with high-gain directional antennas.

#### Use On Aircraft Caution

Caution: Regulations of the FCC and FAA prohibit airborne operation of radio-frequency wireless devices (wireless adapters) because their signals could interfere with critical aircraft instruments.

#### Other Wireless Devices

Safety Notices for Other Devices in the Wireless Network: See the documentation supplied with wireless adapters or other devices in the wireless network.

#### Local Restrictions on 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n, and 802.16e Radio Usage

Caution: Due to the fact that the frequencies used by 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n, and 802.16e wireless LAN devices may not yet be harmonized in all countries, 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n, and 802.16e 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. The device transmit power control (TPC) interface is part of the Intel® PROSet/Wireless WiFi Connection Utility Software. Operational restrictions for Equivalent Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) are provided by the system manufacturer. Any deviation from the permissible power and frequency settings for the country of use is an infringement of national law and may be punished as such.

For country-specific information, see the additional compliance information supplied with the product.

#### Wireless Interoperability

The wireless adapter is designed to be interoperable with other wireless LAN products that are based on direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) radio technology and to comply with the following standards:

- IEEE Std. 802.11b compliant Standard on Wireless LAN
- IEEE Std. 802.11g compliant Standard on Wireless LAN
- IEEE Std. 802.11a compliant Standard on Wireless LAN
- IEEE Std. 802.11n draft 2.0 compliant on Wireless LAN
- IEEE 802.16e-2005 Wave 2 compliant
- Wireless Fidelity certification, as defined by the Wi-Fi Alliance
- WiMAX certification as defined by the WiMAX Forum

#### The Wireless Adapter and Your Health

The 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 situations 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.

The maximum allowed antenna gain for use with this device is 6dBi in order to comply with the E.I.R.P limit for the 5.25- to 5.35 and 5.725 to 5.85 GHz frequency range in point-to-point operation. To comply with RF exposure requirements all antennas should be located at a minimum distance of 20cm, or the minimum separation distance allowed by the module approval, from the body of all persons.

Attention: l’utilisation d’un réseau sans fil IEEE802.11a est réstreinte à une utilisation en intérieur à cause du fonctionement dans la bande de fréquence 5.15-5.25 GHz. Industry Canada requiert que ce produit soit utilisé à l’intérieur des bâtiments pour la bande de fréquence 5.15-5.25 GHz afin de réduire les possibilités d’interférences nuisibles aux canaux co-existants des systèmes de transmission satellites. Les radars de puissances ont fait l’objet d’une allocation primaire de fréquences dans les bandes 5.25-5.35 GHz et 5.65-5.85 GHz. Ces stations radar peuvent créer des interférences avec ce produit et/ou lui être nuisible. Le gain d’antenne maximum permissible pour une utilisation avec ce produit est de 6 dBi afin d’être conforme aux limites de puissance isotropique rayonnée équivalente (P.I.R.E.) applicable dans les bandes 5.25-5.35 GHz et 5.725-5.85 GHz en fonctionement point-à-point. Se pour conformer aux conditions d'exposition de RF toutes les antennes devraient être localisées à une distance minimum de 20 cm, ou la distance de séparation minimum permise par l'approbation de module, du corps de toutes les personnes.”

This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.

Cet appareil se conforme à Canada d'Industrie normes de RSS permis-exempt. L'opération est assujetti au suivre deux conditions : (1) cet appareil ne peut pas causer l'intervention, et (2) cet appareil doit accepter de l'intervention, y compris l'intervention qui peut causer l'opération non désirée de l'appareil.

Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.

Sous les règlements de Canada d'Industrie, cet émetteur de radio peut fonctionner utilisant seulement une antenne d'un type et un maximum (ou moindre) le gain a approuvé pour l'émetteur par Canada d'Industrie. Pour réduire l'intervention potentielle de radio aux autres utilisateurs, le type d'antenne et son gain devrait être si choisie que l'équivalent a rayonné d'isotropiement le pouvoir (e.i.r.p.) n'est pas plus que ce nécessaire pour la communication réussie.
