WARNING: Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation
Å
The radiated output power of this device is below the FCC radio
frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless, the device 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, human proximity to the antenna
should not be less than 20 cm (8 inches) during normal operation,
including when the computer display is closed.
CAUTION: When using IEEE 802.11a wireless LAN, this product is
Ä
restricted to indoor use due to its operation in the 5.15- to 5.25-GHz
frequency range. The FCC requires this product to be used indoors
for frequency range 5.15- to 5.25-GHz to reduce the potential for
harmful interference to co-channel Mobile Satellite systems. High power
radar is allocated as the primary user 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.
