Wireless Guidance
The WGM-240 wireless PCMCIA card is intended to be use
exclusively with the Gateway Connect ed DVD player .
The WGM-240 802 .11g wir eless LAN (low power Rad io
Frequency , RF, t ransmitti ng device) operat es in t he
2400 - 2483.5 MHz band. The following section is a general
overview of considerations while operating the wireless LAN.
Limitations, cautions, and concerns are listed below and in the
specific country sections (or country group sections). This
wireless device is only qualified for use in the countries
identified by the Radio Approval Marks on th e device rating
label. If the country you will be using the wireless device in is
not listed, please cont act that coun tries local Ra dio Approval
agency for requirements prior to operation. Wirele ss devices
are closely regulated and use may not be allowed.
The power output of the WGM-240 wireless LAN device is well
below the RF exposure limits as known at this time. Because
this wireless device emits less energy than is allowed in radio
frequency safety standards and recommendations, Gateway
believes these devices are safe for use. Regardless of the power
levels, care should be taken to minimize human contact during
normal operation.
Measurements have been performed to show that the RF
exposure is below what is considered safe limits; however, care
should be taken to make sure that the user or bystanders keep
the transmitter away from their bodies wh en the w ireless
device is transmitting. Measurements indicated compliance
with RF exposure limits at the antenna housing's surface.
As stated previously, this ca rd is only intended to be used in
the Gateway Connected DVD Player where this separation
distance can be maintained.
This wireless device is intended to be used indoors. In some
areas, use of this device outdoors is prohibited.
Some circumstances require restrictions on using wireless
devices. Examples of common restrictions are listed below:

Warning
Radio frequency wireless comm unication can i nterfere
with equipment on commercial aircraft. Current
aviation regulations require wireless devices to be
turned off while traveling in an airplane . IEEE802.11g

Warning
In environments where the ri sk of interf eren ce to other
devices or services is harmful or perceived as
harmful, the option to use a wireless device may be
restricted or eliminated. Airports, hospitals, and
oxygen or flammable gas laden atmospheres are
limited examples where use of wireless devices may
be restricted or eliminated. When in environments
where you are uncertain of the sanction to use
wireless devices, ask the applicable authority for
authorization prior to use or turning on the wireless
device.
Every country has different restrictions on the use of
wireless devices. When traveling between countries,
check with the local Radio Approv al authorities prior to
any move or trip for any restrictions on the use of a
wireless device in the destination country.
Do not operate the wireless device unless all covers
and shields are in place and the device it is installed
into is fully assembled.
Wireless devices are not user serviceable. Do not
modify them in any way. Modification to a wireless
device will void the authorization to use it. Contact
Gateway for service.
Only use drivers approved for the coun try in which the
device will be used. Install the Gatewa y d e vice driv ers

exposure limits for an uncontrolled environment, of a portable
transmitting device, under 47 CFR 2.1093 paragraph (d)(2).
Measurements indicated compliance with RF exposure limits at
the antenna housing's surface.
This wireless device is intended to be used indoors. In some
areas, use of this device outdoors is prohibited.
As stated previously, this ca rd is only intended to be used in
