INFORMATION FOR OEMS and HOST INTEGRATORS
The guidelines described within this document are provided to OEM integrators installing Intel® wireless adapters in
notebook and tablet PC host platforms. Adherence to these requirements is necessary to meet the conditions of
compliance with FCC rules, including RF exposure. When all antenna type and placement guidelines described herein
are fulfilled the Intel® wireless adapters may be incorporated into notebook and tablet PC host platforms with no
further restrictions. If any of the guidelines described herein are not satisfied it may be necessary for the OEM or
integrator to perform additional testing and/or obtain additional approval. The OEM or integrator is responsible to
determine the required host regulatory testing and/or obtaining the required host approvals for compliance.
Intel® wireless adapters are intended for OEMs and host integrators only.
The Intel® wireless adapter FCC Grant of Authorization describes any limited conditions of modular approval.
The Intel® wireless adapters must be operated with an access point that has been approved for the country of
operation.
Changes or modification to Intel® wireless adapters by OEMs, integrators or other third parties is not
permitted. Any changes or modification to Intel® wireless adapters by OEMs, integrators or other third parties
will void authorization to operate the adapter.
Antenna Type and Gains
Only antennas of the same type and with equal or less gains as shown below may be used with the Intel® wireless
adapters. Other types of antennas and/or higher gain antennas may require additional authorization for operation.

Antenna Placement Within the Host Platform
To ensure RF exposure compliance the antenna(s) used with the Intel® wireless adapters must be installed in
notebook or tablet PC host platforms to provide a minimum separation distance from all persons, in all operating
modes and orientations of the host platform, with strict adherence to the table below. The antenna separation
distance applies to both horizontal and vertical orientation of the antenna when installed in the host system.
