Network Card User Manual

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).
Warning: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless LAN products are not designed for use with high-gain directional antennas.
Use of such antennas with these products is illegal.
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.
Local Restrictions on 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g Radio Usage
Caution: Due to the fact that the frequencies used by 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g wireless LAN devices
may not yet be harmonized in all countries, 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g 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(R) PROSet/
Wireless 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 Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2915ABG Network Connection 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.
● Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) certification, as defined by the WECA (Wireless Ethernet Compatibility Alliance).
The Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2915ABG Network Connection adapter and your health
The Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2915ABG Network Connection adapter, like other radio devices, emits radio frequency
electromagnetic energy. The level of energy emitted by this device, however, is less than the electromagnetic
energy emitted by other wireless devices such as mobile phones. The Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2915ABG Network
Connection adapter wireless device 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 Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2915ABG
Network Connection adapter wireless device may be restricted by the proprietor of the building or responsible
representatives of the applicable organization. Examples of such situations include the following:
