country of use. The device transmit power control (TPC) interface is part of the Intel® PROSet/Wireless WiFi Connection
Utility Software. Any deviation from the permissible power and frequency settings for the country of use is an infringement of
national law and may be punished as such.
Wireless Interoperability
The wireless adapter is designed to be interoperable with other wireless LAN products that are based on direct sequence
spread spectrum (DSSS) radio technology and to comply with the following standards:
● IEEE Std. 802.11b compliant Standard on Wireless LAN
● IEEE Std. 802.11g compliant Standard on Wireless LAN
● IEEE Std. 802.11a compliant Standard on Wireless LAN
● IEEE Std. 802.11n draft 2.0 compliant on Wireless LAN
● IEEE 802.16e-2005 Wave 2 compliant
● Wireless Fidelity certification, as defined by the Wi-Fi Alliance
● WiMAX certification as defined by the WiMAX Forum
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.
Canada
Industry Canada (IC)
This device complies with Industry Canada licence-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.
Cet appareil se conforme aux normes Canada d'Industrie de RSS permis-exempt. L'utilisation est assujetti aux deux
conditions suivantes: (1) cet appareil ne peut pas causer d'interférences, et (2) cet appareil doit accepter des interférences ,
y compris des interférences qui peuvent causer desopérations non désirées de l'appareil.
Caution:
When using IEEE 802.11a wireless LAN, this product is restricted to indoor use due to its operation in the 5.15- to 5.25-GHz
frequency range. Industry Canada requires this product to be used indoors for the frequency range of 5.15 GHz to 5.25 GHz
to reduce the potential for harmful interference to co-channel mobile satellite systems. High power radar is allocated as the
primary user of the 5.25- to 5.35-GHz and 5.65 to 5.85-GHz bands. These radar stations can cause interference with and/or
damage to this device. The maximum allowed antenna gain for use with this device is 6dBi in order to comply with the
E.I.R.P limit for the 5.25- to 5.35 and 5.725 to 5.85 GHz frequency range in point-to-point operation. To comply with RF
exposure requirements all antennas should be located at a minimum distance of 20 cm, or the minimum separation distance
allowed by the module approval, from the body of all persons.
Attention:
l'utilisation d'un réseau sans fil IEEE802.11a est restreinte à une utilisation en intérieur à cause du fonctionnement dans la
bande de fréquence 5.15-5.25 GHz. Industry Canada requiert que ce produit soit utilisé à l'intérieur des bâtiments pour la
bande de fréquence 5.15-5.25 GHz afin de réduire les possibilités d'interférences nuisibles aux canaux co-existants des
systèmes de transmission satellites. Les radars de puissances ont fait l'objet d'une allocation primaire de fréquences dans
les bandes 5.25-5.35 GHz et 5.65-5.85 GHz. Ces stations radar peuvent créer des interférences avec ce produit et/ou lui
être nuisible. Le gain d'antenne maximum permissible pour une utilisation avec ce produit est de 6 dBi afin d'être conforme
aux limites de puissance isotropique rayonnée équivalente (P.I.R.E.) applicable dans les bandes 5.25-5.35 GHz et 5.725-
5.85 GHz en fonctionnement point-à-point. Pour se conformer aux conditions d'exposition de RF toutes les antennes
devraient être localisées à une distance minimum de 20 cm, ou la distance de séparation minimum permise par
l'approbation du module, du corps de toutes les personnes."
