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(R)
PRO/Wireless 2915ABG Network Connection 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 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 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
