Regulatory Information
This Ripwave Wireless Broadband Access Card has been tested with a typical laptop computer with a
side loading PCMCIA bay. This PC Card must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any
antenna (other than the one furnished by Navini and included in the package) or transmitter. Use of this
device in any other configuration may exceed the FCC, ETSI, or other regulatory bodies RF Exposure
compliance limit.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
or used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more
of the following measures:
1) Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna,
2) Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver,
3) Consult the dealer or an experienced radio technician for additional suggestions.
FCC guidelines stipulate that the antenna should be more than 2.5 cm (1”) from bystanders and 1.0 cm
(0.39”) from the user. When in use, the antenna should be pointed vertically upward. When using the
Remote Desktop Antenna with the PC Card, a minimum distance of 20 centimeters (8 inches) is required
from the user or bystander.
SAR, or Specific Absorption Rate, is the measurement for the rate at which electromagnetic energy is
absorbed by the human body during exposure. The FCC states the body SAR limit be: 1.6 W/kg. The
highest reported SAR value for the PC card is 1.01 W/kg.
