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:
To comply with the FCC and ANSI C95.1 RF exposure limits, it is
recommended that for the wireless adapter installed in a desktop or portable
computer, the antenna for this wireless adapter to be installed so as to provide a
separation distance of at least 20
cm
(8
inches) from all persons or at the minimum
distance as specified by the module grant conditions. FCC grants can be viewed
from the FCC Equipment Authorization website at https://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/
reports/GenericSearch.cfm by entering the FCC ID printed on the module label.
-
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 interfere with critical aircraft instruments.
Local Restrictions on 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g and 802.11n Radio Usage
-
Caution:
Due to the fact that the frequencies used by 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g and
802.11n wireless LAN devices may not yet be harmonized in all countries, 802.11a,
802.11b, 802.11g and 802.11n 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 permissible power and frequency
settings for the country of use is an infringement of national law and may be punished
as such.
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 (applies to devices
supporting 802.11a)
- IEEE Std. 802.11n draft 2.0 compliant on Wireless LAN
- Wireless Fidelity certification, as defined by the Wi-Fi Alliance
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:
