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.
5 GHz devices only
High power radars are allocated as primary users 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 this device. No configuration controls are provided for this wireless equipment allowing any change in the frequency of operations outside the FCC grant of authorization for US operation according to Part 15.407 of the FCC rules.
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)
This device complies with RSS247 of Industry Canada.
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.
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.
“To prevent radio interference to the licensed service, this device is intended to be operated indoors and away from windows to provide maximum shielding. Equipment (or its transmit antenna) that is installed outdoors is subject to licensing.”
Notice for 5 GHz devices
Caution:
(i) the device for operation in the band 5150 – 5250 MHz is only for indoor use to reduce the potential for harmful interference to co-channel mobile satellite systems;
(ii) the maximum antenna gain permitted for devices in the bands 5250 – 5350 MHz and 5470 – 5725 MHz shall comply with the e.i.r.p. limit: and
(iii) the maximum antenna gain permitted for devices in the band 5725 – 5825 MHz shall comply with the e.i.r.p. limits specified for point-to-point and non point-to-point operation as appropriate.
(iv) Users should also be advised that high-power radars are allocated as primary users (i.e. priority users) of the bands 5250 – 5350 MHz and 5650 – 5850 MHz and that these radars could cause interference and/or damage to LE- LAN devices.
Exposure of humans to RF fields (RSS-102)
The computers employ low gain integral antennas that do not emit RF field in excess of Health Canada limits for the general population; consult Safety Code 6, obtainable from Health Canada’s Web site at http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/
The radiated energy from the antennas connected to the wireless adapters conforms to the IC limit of the RF exposure requirement regarding IC RSS-102, Issue 5 clause 4.
SAR tests are conducted using recommended operating positions accepted by the FCC/RSS with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency band without distance attaching away from the body. Non- compliance with the above restrictions may result in violation of FCC RF exposure guidelines.

SAR information

RF exposure information (SAR)
This device meets the EU requirements (2014/53/EU) on the limitation of exposure of the general public to electromagnetic fields by way of health protection. The limits are part of extensive recommendations for the protection of the general public. These recommendations have been developed and checked by independent scientific organizations through regular and thorough evaluations of scientific studies. To guarantee the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health, the limits include a significant safety buffer. Before radio devices can be put in circulation, their agreement with European laws or limits must be confirmed; only then may the CE symbol be applied.
The unit of measurement for the European Council’s recommended limit for mobile devices is the “Specific Absorption Rate” (SAR). This SAR limit is 2.0 W/kg, averaged over 10 g of body tissue. It meets the requirements of the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP). The maximum SAR value is calculated at the highest output level in all frequency bands of the mobile device. The highest SAR value reported under this standard during product certification for use of the device at a distance of 0 cm from the body.
During use, the actual SAR level is usually much lower than the maximum value, because the mobile device works in different output levels. It only transmits with as much output as is required to reach the network. In general the following applies: The closer you are to a base station, the lower the transmission output of your mobile device.
