Changes or modification to Intel® wireless adapters by OEMs, integrators or other third parties is not
permitted. Any changes or modification to Intel® wireless adapters by OEMs, integrators or other third parties
will void authorization to operate the adapter.
Antenna Type and Gains
Only antennas of the same type and with equal or less gains as 3dBi for the 2.4GHz band and 5dBi for the 5GHz
band shall be used with the Intel® wireless adapters. Other types of antennas and/or higher gain antennas may
require additional authorization for operation. For testing purposes the following dual band antenna that
approximates closely the above limits was used:

Antenna Placement Within the Host Platform
To ensure RF exposure compliance the antenna(s) used with the Intel® wireless adapters must be installed in
notebook or tablet PC host platforms to provide a minimum separation distance from all persons, in all operating
modes and orientations of the host platform, with strict adherence to the table below. The antenna separation
distance applies to both horizontal and vertical orientation of the antenna when installed in the host system.
