INFORMATION FOR THE USER Safety Notices
(Based on Intel’s Safety regulation &limitation)
USA FCC Radio Frequency Exposure
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 Exposure requirements found in FCC Part 2, 15C, 15E along with guidance from KDB 447498, KDB 248227 and KDB 616217. 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; 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.

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.
Antenna Warnings:
Warning: The wireless adapter is not designed for use with high-gain directional antennas. Use On Aircraft Caution
Caution: Regulations of commercial airline operators may prohibit airborne operation of certain electronic devices equipped with radio-frequency wireless devices (wireless adapters) because their signals could interfere with critical  aircraft instruments.
Caution: 60 GHz/802.11ad equipment is not permitted on aircraft per FCC §15.255. OEM and host integrators should consider this FCC rule in host devices.

Other Wireless Devices
Safety Notices for Other Devices in the Wireless Network: See the documentation supplied with wireless adapters or other devices in the wireless network.
Local Restrictions on 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11d, 802.11g, 802.11n, and 802.11ac Radio Usage Caution: Due to the fact that the frequencies used by 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11d, 802.11g, 802.11n, and 802.11ac wireless LAN devices may not  yet be harmonized in all countries, 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11d, 802.11g, 802.11n, and 802.11ac products are designed for use only in specific countries, and are not allowed to be operated in countries other than those of designated use. As a  user of these products, you are responsible for ensuring that the products are used only in the countries for which they were intended and for verifying that they are configured with the correct selection of frequency  and channel for the  country of use. The device transmit power control (TPC) interface is part of the Intel® Prose/Wireless WIFI Connection Utility Software. Operational restrictions for Equivalent Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) are provided by the  system manufacturer. 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 compliant Standard on Wireless LAN
IEEE Std. 802.11ac draft compliant on Wireless LAN
Wireless Fidelity certification, as defined by the Wi-Fi Alliance
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 situation 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.

REGULATORY INFORMATION

USA – Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
This wireless adapter is restricted to indoor use due to its operation in the 5.15 to 5.25 and 5.470 to 5.75GHz frequency ranges. No configuration controls are provided for Intel® wireless adapters  allowing any change in the frequency of operations outside the FCC grant of authorization for U.S.
operation according to Part 15.407 of the FCC rules.
Intel® wireless adapters are intended for OEM integrators only.
Intel® wireless adapters cannot be co-located with any other transmitter unless approved by the FCC.
This wireless adapter complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation of the device is subject to the following two conditions:
This device may not cause harmful interference.
This device must accept any interference that may cause undesired operation.
NOTE: The radiated output power of the adapter is far below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits.
Nevertheless, the adapter should be used in such a manner that the potential for human contact during normal operation is minimized. To avoid the possibility of exceeding the FCC radio frequency exposure limits, you should keep a  distance of at least 20cm between you (or any other person in the vicinity), or the minimum separation distance as specified by the FCC grant conditions, and the antenna that is built into the computer. Details of the authorized configurations can be found at http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/ by entering the FCC ID number on the device.

Class B Device Interference Statement

This wireless adapter 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 wireless adapter generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy. If the wireless adapter is not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, the wireless adapter may cause harmful  interference to radio communications. There is no guarantee, however, that such interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this wireless adapter 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.

NOTE: The adapter must be installed and used in strict accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions as described in the user documentation that comes with the product. Any other installation or use will violate FCC Part 15 regulations.
CAUTION: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the grantee of this device could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
This device is slave equipment, the device is not radar detection and not ad- hoc operation in the DFS band.
This module is intended for OEM integrator. The OEM integrator is responsible for the compliance to all the rules that apply to the product into which this certified RF module is integrated. Additional testing and certification may be necessary when multiple modules are used.
