Intel 3945ABG - Manual (Page 149)

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(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network
Connection adapter or the Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945BG Network Connection adapter meet the Human
Exposure limits found in OET Bulletin 65, supplement C, 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.
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; 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 20 cm (8 inches) 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 30 cm (12 inches) or more from the body of all persons.
Please contact your professional installer, VAR, or antenna manufacturer for proper installation
requirements.

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 Warnings
Warning: To comply with the FCC and ANSI C95.1 RF exposure limits, it is recommended for the Intel(R)
PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection adapter or the Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945BG Network Connection
adapter installed in a desktop or portable computer, that the antenna for this device be installed so as to provide
a separation distance of al least 20 cm (8 inches) from all persons and that the antenna must not be co-located
or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or radio transmitter. It is recommended that the user limit
exposure time if the antenna is positioned closer than 20 cm (8 inches).
Warning: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless LAN products are not designed for use with high-gain directional antennas.
Use of such antennas with these products is illegal.
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.
