FCC Safety Notices
The FCC in ET Docket 96-8 has adopted a safety standard for human exposure to RF electro-
magnetic energy emitted by FCC certified equipment. The SysKonnect SK-54C1 Wireless
LAN Cardbus Adapter meets 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 results in exposure substantially below the limits recommended by FCC.
This product has passed all necessary tests that classify the product as a mobile device that
can be operated in close proximity to the human body.
The device is approved for mobile and laptop computer use with similar installation and oper-
ating configurations. The SysKonnect Cardbus Adapter is a wireless device with an integrat-
ed antenna. To comply with the FCC and ANSI C95.1 RF exposure limits when using such a
wireless device inserted into a laptop computer, it is recommended that the antenna should
not be positioned closer than 5 cm (2 inches) from the body or nearby persons. It is recom-
mended that the user limit exposure time if the antenna is positioned closer than 5 cm (2 inch-
es).
The device must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or radio
