to use this equipment.
The design of the AirCard 850/860 complies with U.S. Federal 
Communications Commission (FCC) and Industry Canada 
(IC) guidelines respecting safety levels of radio frequency (RF) 
exposure for portable devices, which in turn are consistent 
with the following safety standards previously set by 
Canadian, U.S. and international standards bodies:
•  ANSI / IEEE C95.1-1999, IEEE Standard for Safety Levels 
with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electro-
magnetic Fields, 3kHz to 300 GHz
• National Council on Radiation Protection and Measure-
ments (NCRP) Report 86, -1986, Biological Effects and 
Exposure Criteria for Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields
• Health Canada, Safety Code 6, 1999, Limits of Human 
Exposure to Radio frequency Electromagnetic Fields in the 
Frequency Range from 3 kHz to 300 GHz
• International Commission on Non-Ionising Radiation 
Protection (ICNIRP) 1998, Guidelines for limiting exposure to 
time-varying electric, magnetic, and electromagnetic fields (up 
to 300 GHz)
CAUTION: The AirCard 850/860 has been tested for 
compliance with FCC / IC RF exposure limits in the laptop 
computer(s) configurations with side PCMCIA slot and can be 
used in laptop computers with substantially similar physical 
dimensions, construction, and electrical and RF character-
istics. Always place the antenna in the upright position 
(oriented vertically) when using the AirCard in a notebook 
computer. Note: If this PC Card is intended for use in any
