Safety Instructions

National Restrictions
Within the EU as well as within the majority of the other European Countries, the 2.4
and 5GHz frequency bands have been made available for the use of Wireless LANs.
Sophos recommends that you check with the local authorities for the latest status of
their national regulations for both the 2.4 and 5GHz frequency bands. As of today,
the following general rules apply:
Frequency

Caution: The Sophos AP100 operates in the frequency bands 2.400–2.4835GHz
(channels 1–13), 5.170–5.250GHz (channels 36–48), and 5.470–5.725GHz
(channels 100-140, excluding channels 120, 124, and 128) only. In the 5.170–
5.250GHz frequency band it is therefore restricted to indoor operation only.
The following sections identify countries having additional requirements or restrictions
for Wireless LANs:
Denmark
In Denmark, the band 5.150–5.350GHz is also allowed for outdoor usage.
France
For 2.4GHz, the output power is restricted to 10 mW EIRP when the product is used
outdoors in the band 2.454–2.4835GHz. There are no restrictions when used indoors
or in other parts of the 2.4GHz frequency band. Check http://www.arcep.fr/ for more
details.
Italy
