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 limits found in OET Bulletin 65, supplement C, 2001, and
ANSI/IEEE C95.1, 1992. 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:
o The use of wireless adapters in hazardous locations is limited by the constraints
posed by the safety directors of such environments.
o The use of electronic devices with wireless adapters on airplanes is governed by
the rules of each commercial airlines operator.
o 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 airlines operators may prohibit airborne operation
of certain electronic devices with radio-frequency wireless devices (wireless adapters)
because their signals could interfere with critical aircraft instruments.
Safety Notices for Other Devices in the Wireless Network: See the documentation supplied
with wireless adapters or other devices in the wireless network.
