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, 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 IntelĀ® PROSet/Wireless WiFi Connection Utility. 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 wireless 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 certification, as defined by the Wi-Fi Alliance
The Wireless Adapter and Your Health
The wireless adapter, like other radio devices, emits radio frequency electromagnetic
energy. The level of energy emitted by the wireless adapter, however, is less than the
electromagnetic energy emitted by other wireless devices such as mobile phones. The
wireless adapter 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 wireless adapter may be restricted by the proprietor of the
building or responsible representatives of the applicable organization. Examples of such
situations may include:
Using the wireless adapter on board airplanes, or
Using the wireless adapter in any other environment where the risk of interference
with other devices or services is perceived or identified as being harmful.
If you are uncertain of the policy that applies to the use of wireless adapters in a specific
organization or environment (an airport, for example), you are encouraged to ask for
authorization to use the adapter before you turn it on.
