Radio Frequency Interference
Warning
For safety reasons, turn off all wireless or radio transmitting devices when using your laptop under the following
conditions. These devices may include, but are not limited to: wireless LAN (WLAN), Bluetooth and/or cellular.
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 reect the consensus of the scientic
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 identied as being harmful.
If you are uncertain of the policy that applies to the use of wireless adapters in a specic organization or environment
(an airport, for example), you are encouraged to ask for authorization to use the adapter before you turn it on.
USA — Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
The radiated output power of the adapter is far below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless, the
adapter should be used in such a manner that the potential for human contact during normal operation is minimized.
To avoid the possibility of exceeding the FCC radio frequency exposure limits, you should keep a distance of at least
20 cm between you (or any other person in the vicinity), or the minimum separation distance as specied by the FCC
grant conditions, and the antenna that is built into the computer. Details of the authorized congurations can be found
at www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/ by entering the FCC ID number on the device.
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 certied 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.
• 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.
FCC radio frequency interference requirements
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation of the device is subject to the following two conditions:
• This device may not cause harmful interference.
• This device must accept any interference that may cause undesired operation.
