Regulatory Information
regs.htm[4/10/2015 2:35:49 PM]
The use of wireless adapters in hazardous locations is limited by the constraints posed by the safety
directors of such environments.
The use of wireless adapters on airplanes is governed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
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, and 802.11ac Radio Usage
Caution: Due to the fact that the frequencies used by 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11d, 802.11g, 802.11n, and
802.11ac wireless LAN devices may not yet be harmonized in all countries, 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11d, 802.11g,
802.11n, and 802.11ac 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 be
punished as such.
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
IEEE Std. 802.11n compliant Standard on Wireless LAN
IEEE Std. 802.11ac draft compliant 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
