Wireless Adapter Regulatory Information
Use on aircraft
Caution: FCC and FAA regulations 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 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 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; this behavior may cause damage to the radio.
• Use in specific environments:
- The use of wireless adapters in hazardous locations is limited by the constraints
posed by the safety directors 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 complies 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 blasting caps 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 equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy.
If the equipment is not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, the
equipment may cause harmful interference to radio communications. There is no
guarantee, however, that such interference will not occur in a particular installation. If
this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception
(which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on), the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by taking one or more of the following
measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna of the equipment experiencing the
interference.
- Increase the distance between the wireless adapter and the equipment
experiencing the interference.
- Connect the computer with the wireless adapter to an outlet on a circuit different
from that to which the equipment experiencing the interference is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Caution: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the
equipment.
FCC RF exposure information (SAR)
This device meets the government's requirements for exposure to radio waves. This
device is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure
to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of
the U.S. Government.
The exposure standard for wireless devices employs a unit of measurement known
as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg.
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the
FCC with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested
frequency bands.
Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR
level of the device while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is
because the device is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only
the poser required to reach the network.
In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power
output. While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various devices
and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this device with all reported
SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR
information on this device is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display
Grant section of www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching on FCC ID for your device.
Canada – Industry Canada (IC)

RSS247 de Canada d'Industrie.
This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s).
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference
that may cause undesired operation of the device.
Ce dispositif est conforme a la norme CNR-210 d'Industrie Canada applicable aux
appareils radio exempts de licence. Son fonctionnement est sujet aux deux
conditions suivantes: (1) le dispositif ne doit pas produire de brouillage prejudiciable,
et (2) ce dispositif doit accepter tout brouillage recu, y compris un brouillage
susceptible de provoquer un fonctionnement indesirable.
Radiation Exposure Statement:
The product complies with the Canada 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.
Déclaration d'exposition aux radiations : Le produit est conforme aux limites
d'exposition pour les appareils portables RF pour les Etats-Unis et le Canada établies
pour un environnement non contrôlé.
Le produit est sûr pour un fonctionnement tel que décrit dans ce manuel. La
réduction aux expositions RF peut être augmentée si l'appareil peut être conservé

« Pour empêcher que cet appareil cause du brouillage au service faisant l'objet d'une
licence, il doit être utilisé a l'intérieur et devrait être placé loin des fenêtres afin de
fournir un écran de blindage maximal. Si le matériel (ou son antenne d'émission) est
installé à l'extérieur, il doit faire l'objet d'une licence. »
