On the Use of RF Device

NOTE: The information in this section applies to models with the wireless LAN module.

USA and Canada Safety Requirements and Notices

IMPORTANT NOTE: To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance
requirements, the antenna used for the transmitters (WLAN and
Bluetooth) must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20
cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
Radio Frequency Interference Requirements and SAR
The FCC with its action in ET Docket 93-62 has adopted a safety
standard for human exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) electromagnetic
energy emitted by FCC certified equipment. The wireless LAN module
meets the Human Exposure limits found in OET Bulletin 65, 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; if not, the radio may be damaged.
Use in specific environments:
The use of wireless devices in hazardous locations is limited by the
constraints posed by the safety directors of such environments.
The use of wireless devices on airplanes is governed by the Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA).
