Cisco AIRONET 340 SERIES Quick Start Manual page 8

Safety Information for the Cisco Aironet 340 Series USB Client Adapter
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. Cisco
Aironet 340 Series products meet the uncontrolled environmental limits found in OET-65 and
ANSI C95.1, 1991. Proper operation of this radio according to the instructions found in this
manual and the user guide on the Cisco Aironet 340 Series USB Client Adapter product CD will
result in user exposure that is substantially below the FCC recommended limits.
• Do not touch or move antenna(s) 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 a portable transmitter near unshielded blasting caps or in an explosive
environment unless it is a type especially qualified for such use.
• Do not operate the radio or attempt to transmit date unless the antenna is connected; if not,
the radio may be damaged.
• Antenna use:

— In order to comply with FCC RF exposure limits, dipole antennas should be located at
a minimum distance of 7.9 inches (20 cm) or more from the body of all persons.
— High-gain, wall-mount or mast-mount antennas are designed to be professionally
installed and should be located at a minimum distance of 12 inches (30 cm) or more
from the body of all persons. Please contact your professional installer, VAR, or
antenna manufacturer for proper installation requirements.
— Warning for laptop users: In order to comply with the FCC RF exposure limits, it is
recommended when using a laptop with a PC client adapter, that the adapter's
integrated antenna should not be positioned closer than 2 inches (5 cm) from your
body or nearby persons for extended periods of time while it is transmitting (or
operating). If the antenna is positioned less than 2 inches (5 cm) from the user, it is
recommended that the user limit exposure time.
