WIRELESS ADAPTER REGULATORY INFORMATION
Use On Aircraft Caution
Caution: Regulations of the FCC and FAA prohibit airborne operation of radio-frequency
wireless devices (wireless adapters) because their signals could interfere with critical
interfere with critical aircraft instruments.
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
standards and recommendations.
These standards and recommendations reflect the consensus of the scientific
community and result from deliberations of panels and committees of scientists who
continually review and interpret the extensive research literature. In some situations or
environments, the use of the wireless adapter may be restricted by the proprietor of the
building or responsible representatives of the applicable organization.
Examples of such situations may include:
- Using the wireless adapter on board airplanes, or
- Using the wireless adapter in any other environment where the risk of interference
with other devices or services is perceived or identified as being harmful.
If you are uncertain of the policy that applies to the use of wireless adapters in a specific
organization or environment (an airport, for example), you are encouraged to ask for
authorization to use the adapter before you turn it on.
USA—FCC and FAA
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. The wireless adapter meets the Human Exposurelimits found in OET
Bulletin 65, supplement C, 2001, and ANSI/IEEE C95.1, 1992. Proper operation of this
radioaccording to the instructions found in this manual will result in exposure
substantially below the FCC'srecommended 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 anyexposed 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; this behavior maycause damage to the radio.
• Use in specific environments:
- The use of wireless adapters in hazardous locations is limited by the constraints
posed by the safetydirectors 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.
The product comply with the FCC portable RF exposure limit set forth for an uncontrolled
environment and are safe for intended operation as described in this manual. The further
RF exposure reduction can be achieved if the product can be kept as far as possible from
the user body or set the device to lower output power if such function is available.
Explosive device proximity warning
Warning: Do not operate a portable transmitter (including this wireless
adapter) near unshielded blastingcaps or in an explosive environment unless
the transmitter has been modified to be qualified for such use.
Interference statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
