### Safety Notices

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 Intel PRO/Wireless 5000 LAN products meet the Human Exposure limits found in OET Bulletin 65, 2001, and ANSI/IEEE C95.1, 1992. Proper operation of this radio according to the instructions found in this manual will result in exposure substantially below the FCC’s recommended limits.

- 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; if not, the radio may be damaged.
- Use in specific environments:
  - The use of wireless devices in hazardous locations is limited by the constraints posed by the safety directors of such environments.
  - The use of wireless devices on airplanes is governed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
  - The use of wireless devices in hospitals is restricted to the limits set forth by each hospital.
- Antenna use:
  - In order to comply with FCC RF exposure limits, low gain integrated antennas should be located at a minimum distance of 7.9 inches (20 cm) or more from the body of all persons.
  - High-gain, wall-mount, or mast-mount antennas are designed to be professionally installed and should be located at a minimum distance of 12 inches (30 cm) or more from the body of all persons. Please contact your professional installer, VAR, or antenna manufacturer for proper installation requirements.

- Use on Aircraft Caution (see below)
- Other Wireless Devices (see below)
- Power Supply (Access Point) (see below)

#### Explosive Device Proximity Warning

Warning: Do not operate a portable transmitter (such as a wireless network device) near unshielded blasting caps or in an explosive environment unless the device has been modified to be qualified for such use.

#### Antenna Warning

Warning: To comply with the FCC and ANSI C95.1 RF exposure limits, it is recommended when using a wireless device with an integrated antenna (whether an Access Point, a PC Card inserted into a laptop computer, or a PCI or MiniPCI card installed in a desktop computer), that the antenna should not be positioned closer than 5 cm (two inches) from your body or 6ther persons for extended periods of time while it is transmitting (or operating). If the antenna is positioned less than 5 cm (two inches) from the user, it is recommended that the user limit exposure time.

#### Use On Aircraft Caution

Caution: Regulations of the FCC and FAA prohibit airborne operation of radio-frequency wireless devices because their signals could interfere with critical aircraft instruments.

#### Other Wireless Devices

Safety Notices for Other Devices in the Wireless Network: Refer to the documentation supplied with wireless Ethernet adapters or other devices in the wireless network.

#### Power Supply (Access Point)

Use manufacturer-provided power supply with output rating 5.0 VDC and 2.5 A.

### FCC Regulations

#### FCC Regulations Part 15 Declaration of Conformity (DoC)

Intel Corporation declares that the equipment described in this document is within the requirements of the Code of Federal Regulations listed below:

Title 47 Part 15, Subpart B, Class B for a digital device.

This declaration is based upon the compliance of the Intel® PRO/Wireless 5000 LAN Access Point model WSAP5000, the Intel PRO/Wireless CardBus Adapter model WCB5000, and the Intel PRO/Wireless PCI Adapter model WPCI5000 to the above standards. Intel has determined that the models listed have been shown to comply with the applicable technical standards if no unauthorized change is made in the equipment and if the equipment is properly maintained and operated.

These units are identical to the units tested and found acceptable with the applicable standards. Records maintained by Intel continue to reflect that units being produced under this Declaration of Conformity, within the variation that can be expected due to quantity production and tested on a statistical basis, continue to comply with the applicable technical standards.

#### FCC Rules and Regulations - Part 15

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

1. This device may not cause harmful interference and,
2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

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 and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that 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 one or more of the following measures:

- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

CAUTION: The Part 15 radio device operates on a non-interference basis with other devices operating at this frequency. Any changes or modification to said product not expressly approved by Intel could void the user's authority to operate this device.
