USA FCC Radio Frequency Exposure
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 certified equipment. The wireless adapter meets the Human Exposure
requirements found in FCC Part 2, 15C, 15E along with guidance from KDB 447498, KDB 248227 and KDB 616217.
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.
Use in specific environments:
The use of wireless adapters in hazardous locations is limited by the constraints posed by the safety
directors of such environments.
The use of electronic devices equipped with wireless adapters on airplanes is governed by rules for each
commercial airline operator.
The use of wireless adapters in hospitals is restricted to the limits set forth by each hospital.
Explosive Device Proximity Warning
Warning: Do not operate a portable transmitter (including this wireless adapter) near unshielded blasting caps
or in an explosive environment unless the transmitter has been modified to be qualified for such use.
Antenna Warnings
Warning: The wireless adapter is not designed for use with high-gain directional antennas.
Use On Aircraft Caution
Caution: Regulations of commercial airline operators may prohibit airborne operation of certain electronic
devices equipped with radio-frequency wireless devices (wireless adapters) because their signals could interfere with
critical aircraft instruments.
Caution: 60 GHz/802.11ad equipment is not permitted on aircraft per FCC §15.255. OEM and host integrators
should consider this FCC rule in host devices.
Other Wireless Devices
Safety Notices for Other Devices in the Wireless Network: See the documentation supplied with wireless
adapters or other devices in the wireless network.
Local Restrictions on 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11d, 802.11g, 802.11n, 802.11ac, and 802.16e Radio Usage
Caution: Due to the fact that the frequencies used by 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11d, 802.11g, 802.11n, 802.11ac,
and 802.16e wireless LAN devices may not yet be harmonized in all countries, 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11d, 802.11g,
802.11n, 802.11ac, and 802.16e 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® PROSet/Wireless WiFi Connection Utility 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
